So sorry for your loss. Martha was Auxiliary president when I was volunteer director at Wesley. She was a wonderful loving person!!! My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I am so sorry to hear this. I taught with Marta years ago at WSU and Dana was our nanny. Martha was an awesome nurse and a mentor to me while at WSU. Please know that your family is in my prayers .Kathy Ryan
Martha was my 4th semester nursing instructor at WSU in 1982. I loved having her, she was so nice and a great nurse. Our 4th semester was a small group and we really got to know each other well. Martha even had us over to her house. She definitely left a positive impact on her students and patients. My condolences to her family.
