One of the great matriarchs of St. Peter’s has been called home to be with Jesus. Her love of life and family and friends will long be remembered, as will her love and devotion to Lou. I will miss our visits together, but will look forward to the day when I will see her again in heaven. Rest in peace pretty lady!
Dear Nancy and Bonnie and family,
Your mother was such a kind, sweet lady. She was a special friend to our mother Sara Choff, Uncle Steve Pozsgi, and Aunt Judy Kocher. She was always ready and willing to help in any way needed. We have many loving memories of her that we cherish.
May you find comfort and strength knowing you are in our thoughts and prayers.
With sincere sympathy,
Sandy Choff Spolsky and family
We would like to express sympathy to the family. Martha was a loyal member of our group.
Sincerely, The Keenagers of Portersville, PA
