Martha was always sweet and smiling and made you feel like you were her favorite person.
The flowers she arranged for the church were such a joy.
In 1998, our son, Jody, was living in Arkansas, but he and Marcy, who lived in Celeste, were planning their wedding in Dallas. I inherited the job of ordering the bride’s bouquet. With Marcy’s magazine pictures in hand, I went to Martha at her work to order all the flowers. Martha put together the most gorgeous bridal bouquet I have ever seen. Marcy’s mother had it preserved and, though the white roses have aged a bit, it is still beautiful. The married couple still have that lovely reminder of the beginning of their life together, and I, also, remember Martha.
Though we were not in the chapel, the chapel was in our home for us to share in the lovely service. May God continue to bles your family.

We loved Martha and being with her.
Her floral arrangements at church were such a joy.
In 1998, our son Jody married in Dallas but was living in Arkansas and his bride in Celeste TX. Somehow, I inherited the job of ordering the bride's bouquet. With Marcy's magazine photos, I went to Martha's work and she created the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen. After the wedding, Marcy's mom had it preserved. After 22 years, the white roses are a bit yellowed, but Jody and Marcy still cherish the memories it brings, and I always appreciate Martha for providing it for them.
Martha was such a dear sweet Christian lady that I will always remember. Though we were not in the chapel, the chapel was in our home so we could share the lovely service with your family. May God continue to bless you all.

My Prayers and Condolences to the Family. Ms. Martha was truly a Sweet Lady and she will truly be missed. RIP My Friend.
My sweet Rae Lou & family, my heart breaks for you as you start this journey without your mom and grandmother. I always loved your mom and Rae Lou you were the spitting image of her in so many ways. All the way down to your cute little giggle. I am so glad I stopped by to see her last year. She was so gracious and happy to see us. I am so sorry for your loss. This is a really tough one. No doubt she is so proud of all of her kids, grandkids and great grandkids. Live your life full as she did every day! All my love!
Martha lived across the street from us on Fairway. My kids gre up with hers. She was a very nice person and neighbor. Prayers for her family.
