Martha was in my graduating class of ’81. She was as real as they get. Not a pretentious bone in her body. You never had to guess what she was thinking! Looking forward to seeing her again. (John 5:28,29) Martha will definitely be will missed!
I am honored to know Martha. I am shocked at her passing and will miss her. My condolences to her family.
Sorry for the passing of Martha. I remember her very well coming into the Dragon Mart when she lived in Cameron. Martha didn’t know a stranger! Rest easy Martha.
I’m so sorry to hear of Martha’s passing. I will be remembering your family in prayer.
My heart is breaking at the thought of never seeing or hearing you sing as you worked ,and our political talks , no one else agrees with me LOL . Martha brought so much joy and laughter to everyone she knew. RIP my friend!! Arlie and JR thank you for sharing this special lady who loved you both so much.
Our prayers go to the Powell and Henry family, may our God give you comfort at this time.
Martha-A TRUE and HONEST friend! You were more than my co-worker. It is comforting to know there is another ANGEL in Heaven looking out for me.
This lovely lady, will be missed by all who had the blessing of have her entering into our lives.
Martha touched so many people in so many ways with her infectious smile and quick wit. Always willing to lend a hand or an ear, if you just needed someone to listen. Heaven has gained a special angel . I’m sure she’s already putting her organization skills to work and sitting on a creek bank fishing in her spare time. Rest in peace, my friend.
We were all so blessed to have had you in our lives. I miss you already and will miss seeing your kind face every morning and hearing that contagious laugh. You sure were one of a kind. Fly high my beautiful friend! Becky
