So sorry to hear this—we were close in age. I graduated from Wolfe City High in 1954 and I remember Martha well—what a special Lady she was. May God comfort her loved ones and Friends.
So sorry for your loss, she helped lots of folks look better for special occasions or just their weekly refresh. I remember when she would cut my hair and give a perm. My prayers are with the family.
Prayers and strength for the family and friends.
My sincerest condolences to the Monroe family. Martha was a special lady and will be missed by all that knew and loved her. Prayers for your healing and comfort.
Martha was a faithful attendee at our Ladies Tea.
Her beautiful, contagious smile lit up the room.
Till we meet again, sweet Martha.
