Martha (Marti) was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and was the daughter of Kathryn DeMint and William Lilly. Marti had one sister Nanci Gleis (deceased). She was widowed for many years (James).
Marti is survived by her daughters Kathryn Perdue (Dale), Deborah Goldblatt (Stuart) and Nanci Yetter (DJ), five grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. She is also survived by brother in law Ron Gleis, two nieces Sheli Williams, Deann Ramey and a nephew Stephen Gleis. Marti also leaves behind two special “family” members Lulu and Yeni who were faithful visitors and loved her very much.
Marti went to nursing school later in life. She was a caring and compassionate nurse caring for the elderly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities where she met her co worker and forever best friend Mary Marshall (David).
Marti had a quick sense of humor and a kind heart. Her faith in Jesus was strong and even though she will be greatly missed, her loved ones rejoice she is now in her Heavenly Home.
The family wishes to thank some very special Care Givers at Sunrise Raleigh and her Hospice Team at Heartland Hospice. Mary Beth, Karen, Samantha, Kathryn, Madeline and Michelle from Heartland have provided medical and compassionate support in many ways to Marti and her family for the past 2 ½ years. Lauren from Eventus also has lovingly taken care of Marti’s medical needs for five years. Transitions LifeCare “Hospice Home” provided a peaceful passing.
At Marti’s request there will be no public service.
