Martha worked for the Virginia Gazette for many years and later retired from Williamsburg Landing Retirement Center.  She was a hardworking, sweet, soft-spoken, and easy-going woman whose smile could light up any room she entered.  Spending time with her children and grandchildren was her greatest love. She also enjoyed cooking, traveling, and most of all, dancing. Martha’s most cherished moments were when all of her family came together.
