Martha Evalyn Dilts was born to Edna Phyllis (Sparks) and Thomas Gilbert Brokaw in Vernon, Colorado. The family moved around Colorado, eventually settling in Woodland Park, Colorado where she met her husband, Alvin Ernest Dilts. They married on October 23, 1942, just before he entered World War II in Europe.
Martha was a career woman, working tirelessly as a house wife and mother 24/7. She was very talented with crafts and art. One of her favorite hobbies was fine china painting, and she even taught fine china painting classes to a group of ladies.
Even after her children were grown and moved away, her house was still home to all. At times it was like a motel and bed space was at a premium.
She cared for people and worked on many volunteer projects with the VFW. In her latter years, she tirelessly crocheted afghans, giving them to nursing homes and hospitals, reaching as far as St. Louis, MO and Colby, KS.
Martha is preceded in passing by husband Alvin, sister Bonnie Lundy and both her parents.
Martha is survived by her loving and grateful children: Terry Bert Dilts (Katie), Larry Dean Dilts (Karen), Priscilla Sue Dilts Bauer, and Phyllis Ann Dilts Smith (Joe). Grandchildren: Joshua, Andrew, Kary, Geoffrey, and many great-grandchildren.
