Our God must have needed more angels....and our adorable Marty has answered God's call.

Marty was warm, kind, funny and so very good at any task she was doing. She kindly and wonderfully served everyone she met with a smile and with superior attention.

The Lord bless and keep Marty's family during this difficult time. We will all miss Marty's love and sweet smile.

With love a deep appreciation for her amazing gift of life and love,
Rita Mitchell-Harvey, and Vic, in spirit

I am so very sad to hear of Marty's passing. She and I corresponded during her Chemo treatments, but I did not realize how fast things had gotten worse. My most sincere sympathies go to the family. May the Peace of The Lord be with You.

Marty was a very good person, though I met her through my daughter, Bri, who worked with her at Pleasant Valley Country Club, I felt like she was a good friend. We talked about American Idol, our kids and grand kids, she was a wonderful lady and will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, and all her co-workers at both jobs, for so many years.

My Loving and wonderful Aunt Marty. You were the most loving and caring person I knew. You were always willing to do anything to help someone out who needed it. Some of my memories of you are how much you loved your lil snoopy and how you got irritated at me when I taught her how to howl. How you took me in your home and let me live with you. How no matter what was going on you always made the effort to show how much you cared. You never seemed to get angry or mad, even though you probably had your moments. When I close my eyes and can picture you when I would come in your house or anytime we saw each other, you always welcomed me with a "Hi baby" which ment the world to me and how loving you were to me. You are a beautiful soul and I know you knew no stranger. God made the perfect Aunt! I love you and will always miss you. I can't wait to get to heaven and hear you say "Hi baby" when I see you. Love always, Karrie

Marty was a dear friend for more than 20 years, and the greatest bartender in Pleasant Valley Country Cub's history. She really knew how to make those Beefeater martinis just right! She was just a wonderful person and we will miss her. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
