As a loving wife and mother, Marty was involved with many Atlanta organizations, including the Girl Scouts, Woodward Academy Parents Club, the Phoenix Society of Atlanta, and Sandy Springs Society. She was also a member of Peachtree Church. Marty enjoyed spending weekends with family and friends at Lake Burton. She will be remembered for her kind heart, consideration for all, and her festive celebration of holidays.

She is survived by her two children Jamie Wilson (Katie) of Bentonville, AR and Kathy DeRue (Scott) of Ann Arbor, MI. Marty is also survived by her brother Jerry Fudge (Nadine), nephew James Fudge (Sara), both of Marietta, GA; and niece Jessica Sindersine (Andrew) of Powder Springs, GA.
The family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude for the loving care provided over the last three years at Chelsea Retirement Community.
