Martha was born November 13, 1924 in Monette, Arkansas to Malcolm Argul Pike and Martha Edna Greer. She had six sisters and seven brothers who all preceded her to god's loving arms.
Martha married Harold J. Watson after Harold returned home from World War II. They had four children: Michael Dawn Fjeldsted aka "Blondie" (Roger), Kirby D. Watson (Julie), Vickie L.

Martha and Harold later divorced, and then she married Raymond Grow. She helped raise Ray's four children: Jim, Kelly, Karen, and Cindy. Ray preceded her to god's kingdom in 1989.
Mom was raised in a loving Christian home and had a strong belief in the bible.
As a youth, she was very active in basketball and track. She lettered all three years in high school. Later in life, she loved to golf and watch the Jazz play basketball.
Mom spent her youth in Arkansas, then to California, then to Kearns and Magna, then to St. George, and her final two years in West Jordan.
She will be missed, loved and prayed for today, tomorrow, and always.
