Martha was a faithful member of Brush Hill Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where she served in the nursery for over thirty years. Although she had no biological children, Martha doted on her nieces and nephews and many other children in her church and community, passing out Chiclets and M&Ms, along with hugs and kisses. Martha was a prolific knitter of baby booties, dishcloths, and Christmas stockings, gifting dozens to friends and family over the years. She loved the color orchid, and she was a master baker of jam cake.
Martha was preceded in death by her loving husband, Paul Brooks Jordan; her parents Mary Lena (Wills) and Herbert Simpson Gibbs; and her brother Charles (Corky) Gibbs of Hermitage. She is survived by her brother B. Eugene (Ann) Gibbs of Tulsa, Oklahoma; her nephew Terry (Kelly) Gibbs of Keller, Texas; her niece Karen (Paul) Hiller of Tulsa, Oklahoma; her nephew Scott (Valerie) Gibbs of Brentwood; and her nephew Jason (Kristi) Gibbs of Mt. Juliet.
