Marti was a Registered Nurse in various hospitals in Indiana and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her favorite area was in OBGYN, where she assisted in delivering babies.
She enjoyed scrap booking, baking, reading and watching Survivor with her family. One of her favorite places to visit was Disney World. She also enjoyed trips to Gulf Shores as she loved the beach.

As a pastor’s wife, Marti served her Lord as a worship and women’s leader. She also worked with youth and enjoyed providing meals for church events.
