She was preceded in death by the love of her life, Gary Dean Cornelison and her parents, Dolse Philip and Maggie Lucille Young along with three brothers, Lane (Tex) Young, Johnny Young and Benny Ray Young and three sisters, Mamie Tiemann, Dora Mae Sacky and Jessie Brandon.
Martha is survived by seven children- four sons, Anthony Davis, Raymond Davis, Gary Cornelison and David Cornelison and three daughters, Wendy Davis, Sallie Campbell and Aprill Moss-Davis. She was blessed with three wonderful daughters-in- law, Susie Davis, Connie Davis and Holly Swoboda-Cornelison; fifteen precious grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren along with many more friends and family who she adored with all her heart and soul.
Martha was a kindhearted beloved mother and friend who would give you her last dollar if need be and she was loved by all who met her. She was both clever and mischievous. Her sense of humor and her fun-loving spirit was always front and center. Most times that led to what would become cherished memories, occasionally it led to trouble but if you were not immeasurably entertained and inspired by her presence, then you were not paying attention. Martha could light up a room in so many ways: with her wit, escapades, generous heart, candor, beauty and understanding. Her endearing qualities were countless and her enthusiasm for life was contagious.
