Martha Ethridge Hahn, age 94, died Friday, December 26th. Martha Ethridge Hahn, daughter of Martha Walker Ethridge and George Morris Ethridge was born April 19, 1920 in Meridian, Mississippi. During World War II, she served in the U.S. Navy WAVES in Washington, D.C. and New Orleans.

After the War, Martha moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas. She soon met and married the love of her life, W.B. "Dutch" Hahn, M.D. Together they raised three daughters and a son. Martha's graciousness was accented by her charming Mississippi drawl. An accomplished cook, she loved to entertain her many friends and family. Her holiday tables were full, busy and delicious.

She was active throughout her life with the Junior League of Austin, Junior Helping Hand, Travis County Medical Auxiliary and Good Shepherd Episcopal Church. She especially cherished her friends in her dinner club and sewing club and birthday club. Always the first to help a friend or neighbor in need, Martha loved easily and was loved by many.

Mrs. Hahn is survived by Harriet Cousins and husband Ralph of Dallas, Betty Hahn of Austin, Missy Boone and husband David of Dallas and William Hahn, M.D. and wife Kathi of Huntsville, Alabama. Additionally, she is survived by five grand-children: Christian Cousins, Ph.D. of Austin, Robert Cousins and his wife Jane and David Cousins both of Nashville, Tennessee, Katherine Austin Hahn of Huntsville and Lauren Boone of Dallas. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
