Marty was a loving wife, wonderful mother and doting grandma. Cooking was her passion, and putting out a spread for family brought her great joy. She will be missed beyond words; however, her legacy of wisdom, strength and love, which she imparted to her family, will endure forever.

The family is very thankful for the doctors, nurses and staff at East Liverpool City Hospital for their attentive and compassionate care.
