Martha's legacy is carried on through her grandchildren: Jennifer (Chad) Haag, Trisha (Joe) Tovar, Tyler (Cassondra) Light, Joel Light, Dylan Milford, Drake (Alexis Van Ness) Milford and Spencer (Karlie German) Milford, along with eight great-grandchildren who brought her immense joy. Along with her sister, Joan Gampher, of Tennessee.
