Martha was born December 11, 1947 in Tacoma Washington to Charles and Jeane Stevens. She married Ted Couch on August 4, 1974 and he survives. She also leaves behind the most wonderful children God ever could have blessed her with. Michael (April) Couch Marshall, MI, David (Kelly) Couch Scottsburg, IN, Karen (Pat) Schoettmer Westport, IN, and Connie (Joe) Million Greensburg, IN . They have made her life whole and have been a blessing to her in more ways than they could ever know.
Marti loved to sing and paint. Ted and Marti made beautiful music together whether it was singing karaoke, or singing and playing music in their own home.
She is also survived by her sister Tina (Jack) Haugland Puyallup, WA. 12 grandchildren. RaShanna (Levi) Young, Robert (Carol) Couch, Daelee Couch, Faith Couch, Laila Couch, Garrett Couch, Eric Million, Emily Million, Aaron Couch, Sarah Couch, Clarabelle Schoettmer, and Scarlett Schoettmer. Great Grandchildren; Alianna, Emmie, Tate, Carson and Maddie, and her dog Ally. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Bill Stevens and grandchild Theodore Garrett Couch.
Marti wants her family and friend to celebrate her life and not mourn her death. She wants them to know how much they were loved by her. She leaves instructions to have a party, talk about good times, and laugh at the stupid things she did. As she said to her children many times, “I had a good life and a wonderful family. God bless you all.”
