A lifelong resident of Washington County, Martha was born on November 8, 1939, to the late Bernie Carter and Minnie Snyder Carter.

Martha retired from NHC Healthcare. In her free time, she enjoyed gardening, watching “I Love Lucy” reruns, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
