Martha worked at Messengers and then at Kray's Apple Orchard in Butler for several years. She was a longtime member of the Red Hat Ladies, the Lady Bugs and St. Joe Church of Christ in St. Joe, IN.
She loved to make ornaments and Easter baskets out of macrame and ran the Crafts on the Hill out of her basement.

She added to it every year including rocks from family and friends from all over the world.
