Martha was a graduate of St. Agnes School in Alexandria, VA, and attended Sweet Briar College and Virginia Commonwealth University. She earned a Master's degree at Georgia State University and worked as a Kindergarten teacher and preschool director at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School for many years. Martha was known for her generous spirit, devotion to her wondrous family, and loyal support of Starbucks. Among the many things that gave her joy were traveling with her amazing grandchildren, spoiling her dogs, and discovering a talent for painting. In the places she called home– Alexandria, VA, Atlanta, GA, Manteo, NC, and Richmond, VA,– she cherished her many friends and knew no strangers– people or pets. Arrangements for a celebration of her life are forthcoming. In lieu of flowers, donations in Martha's honor can be made to the Richmond SPCA, 2519 Hermitage Road, Richmond, VA 23220.
