Kayla, 35, of Nashville went into glory on Sunday, March 17th, 2019, on her 35th birthday, at Spectrum Health Butterworth in Grand Rapids, MI. Kayla was the daughter of Wesley "J" Martin and Kari Burd.

She attended Carrizozo High School in New Mexico, graduating in 2002. She continued her education at Eastern New Mexico State University and New Mexico State University, obtaining an Associates in Special Education.

Throughout the years, Kayla has been employed at Subway and Dollar General in Nashville, but most recently was able to pursue her career in education by working as a teacher's aide, and substitute teacher for Maple Valley Schools.

In her spare time, she loved cross stitching, creating beautiful masterpieces for family and friends; coloring, baking, pony riding, singing & dancing. She enjoyed watching sports with her siblings and visiting friends everywhere. During the summer months, Kayla loved to be on the water fishing, boating, or enjoying an afternoon of swimming and beach going. She spent every waking moment with various nieces and nephews and neighbor kids, showing them love and teaching them to be silly. Her kind and generous spirit followed her wherever she went.
