Unlike many women of the era, Martha continued to work at Illinois Bell for decades after marriage and the births of her children, yet she cooked supper for her family every evening. Martha was known for making wonderful pies and was expected to bring several pies to church functions and family events. Martha was a religious woman and did not fear death. She was loved and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. A Visitation will be held Sunday, July 15, 2018 from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at Hughey Funeral Home in Mount Vernon.
