Marty passed away at home due to complications from cancer. She was born in Minneapolis, but raised in Northern California. Los Altos, CA was home. She graduated from Mountain View HS and then attended UC Santa Barbara where she met Roy. They were married in 1960 (later sealed in the San Diego LDS Temple). San Diego was their home for many years starting with Roy's assignment in the Navy. Marty graduated from San Diego State with a degree in Education. She then taught in several elementary schools in the San Diego area. Throughout her life, children remained a focus and a joy.
Marty raised three children, Steven, Jeffrey, and Carolyn. They were the pride of her life. They are all successful and have wonderful families of their own. Marty and Roy have 10 perfect grandchildren.
In 2003 they moved to Utah to be near family. Marty was a volunteer for many years at Intermountain Medical Center. She had over 1,000 hours of volunteering at IMC. She also served on the Volunteer Council as Secretary.
She will forever be remembered for her courage and positive attitude and she will be missed by all. The family would like to thank the many friends and neighbors for their support. Our thanks also to the staff of Quality Hospice.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at the LDS South Mountain Stake Center, 1911 East 14100 South, Draper, Utah with a visitation from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to the service.
