Marian “Nan” was born in McCormick, S.C. in 1928.   She was married to Shorty Martin for nearly 70 years and raised two daughters in the Augusta area.  Nan played the organ for Westminster Presbyterian church during the Sunday services for 50 years where she also served as the choir director.  Her later years were spent enjoying being an active member of Lakemont Presbyterian Church.  Nan stayed home to raise her children and used her spare time to volunteer for other roles with the church such as teaching Sunday school and organizing the youth choir, known as the David Singers.  Shorty and Nan were well known for visiting senior citizens weekly both at their homes and in nursing homes around town. Nan loved to sew and cook and spent many hours crocheting household items for her family and friends.  She loved to cook for her family, especially holidays, and will forever be remembered for her “concrete egg” recipe.
