Martha Ross Burkett

She was born February 1943 in Tullahoma, Tennessee. She graduated from Travis High School in Austin, Texas then attended Texas State University. During a college break she travelled back to Austin to go on a blind date with a University of Texas student, R.T. Burkett, who later became her husband of 64 years. They married and resided in St Louis, Fort Worth, Austin, and then to Georgetown, Texas in 1976. They called Georgetown home and resided there for the next 50 years.

Martha was a member of Main Street Baptist Church for 50 years. While at Main Street Church, she taught sunday school, vacation bible school, and hosted bible study at her home. She changed many people's lives by proclaiming the love of the Lord. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family, watching football with her husband, playing George Strait songs, and cross stitching needlework art for friends and family.

Her greatest gift was caring for friends and family, especially her grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by parents Charles Lee Morris, Lanelle Morris, infant son Stephen Lloyd Burkett, and her best friend in faith for 40 years Virginia 'Ginny' Hauser whom they called each other sisters.

Surviving family includes husband of 64 years R.T. Burkett, Gregory Burkett and wife Marlene, daughter Amanda Sefcik and husband Willis, brother Charles Morris, granddaughters Colleen Tawater, Kristin Nemec and husband Jacob, Sierra Burkett and great grandson Carter Goulding.
