Martha always loved babies and toddlers and spent many years caring for them in her church nursery, becoming Nursery Director in her 80’s.
Mom was also known for her many arts and crafts skills. She brought smiles and pleasure to the “Senior Population” of the church, teaching them arts and crafts as a “senior” herself.
Always with a big smile on her face and warm eyes and open heart to those around her and anyone she met.
When asked, Mom always described herself as “FAT AND SASSY!”, which she definitely was.
She leaves behind Daughter: Sandra Stevenson of Silverdale, Grandchildren Wade Stevenson of Colorado Springs, CO., Jodi Looby of Bremerton,WA., and her pride and joy, Great-grandson, Benjamin Mabry.
“Mom”, “Nanny”- We will miss you--your “FAT AND SASSY” self terribly. God guide you with his gentle hand as you continue on your new journey.
