spouse, mom was predeceased by sisters, Flora Sanford and Verna Rees;

Mom was baptized on
December 06, 2001, as one of Jehovah’s Witness’.
She had great love for Jehovah God, and for her Kingdom Hall family.
Mom had a strong faith and is looking forward to the resurrection
promise of when all things on earth will be made new and the heavenly
government to rule the earth.
Mom stayed at home
raising her 7 children until the youngest went off to school. Mom then
went to work at Coby Foods in Kentville for 12 years which she left to
stay home and look after her father-in-law Wylie Munroe until his
passing in 1989 and sister-in-law Belva Munroe until March 1996.
Before her two youngest children came along, mom also looked after a
neighbor Everett Lyle after his wife passed away until his
passing.
Mom loved to bake and
cook and was always up to trying a new recipe. Whenever anyone came,
it was always, “Have you eaten”, “let me get you
something to eat”. I don’t think anyone ever walked
away hungry. She was kind to everyone and everyone that met mom always
spoke very highly of her too. Mom loved to go for drives and was
always up for a good game of cards, many a weekend were had with
friends and family gathered around the dining room table either at
home, or at Lorraine and Curtis’, or some other friends
place playing 45’s. Mom will be missed dearly by
many.
The family would like
to say thanks to the Doctors and Nurses at Valley Regional Hospital
(VRH) who took great care of our mother during her few stays in the ER
and Med A over this past year. We would also like to extend a huge
thank you to mom’s “VON girls” for all their
kindness and compassion over the past few years. Donations may be made
to VON Annapolis Valley or www.jw.org. Family
flowers only.
Cremation has taken

Martha will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2024 in the
