Martha and I led the Curves Breakfast Club since the Mesquite franchise  closed.  We are going to miss Martha's  leadership and faithful attendance at our monthly breakfasts.   The Family chose a perfect photo of Martha to place on her obituary; we will always remember her smile.  That smile had to come from her devotion to God, our Savior.  Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her;  may her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Kevin & Barry,   your Mother was a woman of faith.  She shared her faith with all she met.  She was always encouraging to me and when she knew that my Mom & Dad were in assisting living, she sent them several cards to tell them she loved them and was thinking of them.  She lived her faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.  Her and I talked several times since Allen's death and her words were always that our Jesus was in control and HE was by my side to walk me thru trying times.  She was a blessing to me and I will remember her with love.  She is up there with Helen, your Dad and my Dad having a great time praising & singing at Jesus' feet.

Martha, Its hard to find the words how  we are feeling and even harder to express how dear you were to our family. Your love and kindness to all of us will be missed. Prayers for your family and the beautiful memories you left us with will be cherished forever. Love Mary & Perry Barber

The pictures were so very special - as she was.  It was precious to see those beautiful smiles of all those that loved her so.  Prayers for all of you in the difficult days ahead.  I know that she and Dwain are thrilled to be together now in the presence of their Savior.

Such a lovely Godly lady who was always so very nice to me.  Who loved her family so very much. Will miss her smiling face here but I know she is smiling even bigger in the presence of Jesus and all her loved ones there in Heaven with her. Sending you all love and prayers 🙏🏻❤️   

Martha will be missed on earth, but I know her faith is now sight, her joy is complete.  Jesus ministered to so many people through her kindness, encouragement and example of faith.

I can only imagine that Dwain, my mom and dad, and all of the Casa View friends who already in the presence of Jesus, are celebrating her and her kind and powerful influence on SO many (including me). 

Sharing a photo of Dwain, Martha, Mom and Dad, and Barry (maybe the early 80's?)   

Love and prayers, Kay (Simmons) Adkins 

This sentence, in the obituary,  “She was a secretary at Casa View Baptist Church for almost 30 years”, is true, but something of an understatement.
Here’s the real story:

Martha was called into full-time ministry and served faithfully at one church for 30 years. Every day, Monday through Sunday, she did whatever was handed her to do, and did with grace and love. She served long time members, new attendees, and people who just walked into the office. She put up with a train of pastors who led the church, including a lot of young new staffers (like me) who didn’t know near as much about how church really works as she did.  

She put in more hours in the church building, got paid less, and saw the good, the bad, and the ugly of spiritual endeavors amidst earthly struggles. When Jesus said, “the greatest among you is the one who is the servant of all,” he likely had church secretaries like Martha and others in mind.

Martha was such a good  friend and role model.  I appreciated so many prayers that she prayed for me.  There is a hole in our hearts but we know we will see her and Dwain again one of these days.
