She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. A graduate of Tubman High School, Martha became a bookkeeper for several plumbing and heating contractors, retiring from Gold Mech, Inc. A longtime member of First Baptist Church, she was part of the Anna Bannister Sunday School Class and sang with the First Family Singers.
Other interests included membership in the Holiday Ramblers and the Augusta Boating Club. Martha had served as pianist for the George Walton Eastern Star Auxiliary and enjoyed playing piano from memory while a resident of Camellia Walk.

The family would like to thank Mrs. Emmie Dent for all the years she so faithfully took care of our mother, Regency Hospice for their care and compassion during her illness, and Camellia Walk Assisted Living employees for their faithful, loving care.
