Marty has been our neighbor for 18 years. She enjoyed being out in her yard, and of course taking her beloved Bruno for a walk. Thank you for being a great neighbor, Marty. All The Best, Ever, -The Lynaugh Family

My daughter and her family live next door to Marty. Whenever she was outside working in her yard, she always had a smile on her face and a furry companion at her feet. My grand daughter, Josephine, took holiday cookies over to Marty on Christmas Eve, and spent time visiting with her. When she came home, she said “I just love Marty!”. I am happy she was able to spend one last visit with her. Rest in Peace Marty,

I worked with Marty for years at Kohl's. She trained me...apparently to well, because then I started training new employees. :-) When in doubt, I'd think "WWMD" What Would Marty Do. Always a smile on her face. Missed her when she retired. My sympathy to her family, friends and Kohl's family. Lisa G

My mom played with Martha when they were kids and mom helped her put flowers on our relatives grave sites every Memorial Day. Martha was always invited to family events. My family enjoyed going over to her house for Memorial Day or other celebrations. My dad always looked up to his big sister for advice. She was fun to travel with and will be dearly missed.
