I am saddened to have learned of Martha's death. I did not know she had passed. Martha was my son's kindergarten teacher and the best kindergarten teacher any child could been been fortunate enough to have. She understood children and knew how to reach them. Martha and I also were friends at Barclay Downs, where Martha played superb tennis, and where we frequently sat by the pool and chatted while watching our children. More recently, Martha saw me in the stands at a pickle ball match and came over to teach me the tricks of how to play. The world has lost a very special person in Martha. My heart goes out to her children and grandchildren. My sincerest condolences to them.

Everyone loved Martha Mallory who knew her. She was a fine lady who sparkled in whatever she did, whether the church choir, circle meetings, or guiding our grandchildren through FPC preschool. Martha always had a happy smile and we will remember her fondly.

Mrs. Mallory was the ultimate kindergarten teacher and led a whole generation of children through kindergarten with ease. We have thought of her often through the years. My deepest sympathies are with her husband and family in their time of loss. Many prayers go out to her family!

Miss Woods was the best teacher ever! Her name changed during the year I was in her 3rd grade class at Windsor Park. What a wonderful life she had!
Praying for all that were a part of her life.

Martha always wore a radiant smile and spoke softly, calmly and with directness. Her rock-solid faith was a constant source of strength for me as she would smile from the choir loft and give a little nod. A prayer was sent heavenward. What would Martha say today? She always showed us the way.
Years ago, at a dinner for new church members, I found a quiet corner to ask Martha about Bob Stone, author of "Where the Buffaloes Roam". With a caring expression, she said simply, "He died." She nodded, paused and continued, "I'm sorry, he died last Monday." She paused again kindly letting me process the fact that this remarkable survivor was gone. She continued, "His last request was that we sing 'Home on the Range' at his funeral reception." Martha smiled - that warm, quiet smile that was just right for the moment.
She then talked about Bob using words that also fit Martha's life to a T. "Bob always knew the right thing to do and say to folks. And, of course, neither he nor anyone else is going to live forever. He was so honest! He always introduced himself as having terminal cancer. He really led the way toward making people feel comfortable about sharing their situations with others. He made it OK to ask for help, as well as prayers. " Indeed, Martha was all these things and more. What a blessing in our lives!

I am so heartbroken to hear that Martha has passed away. She has been a wonderful close friend for many years and I feel truly blessed to have had her in my life. We have lost such a wonderful, caring friend. There are no words that can express the depth of sadness that we feel on loosing her so suddenly. God now has a wonderful angel at his side. I can just hear her singing the hymns she so loved. Martha you will be missed by so many people that have been blessed to call you their friend.

Martha is one of the reasons I came to The Sharon. She welcomed me with open arms after I met her daughter and told her that I was interested in The Sharon. We met on the front porch of her cottage and I knew that if people like Martha loved it I would too. She will be greatly missed. Sally Blythe
