My children and family members were students at Ridgecrest, Mrs. White always had a smile on her face and she touched many , many lives. She will be missed greatly. She left a great legacy and her family should be very proud of her accomplishments.
My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Ruth Bell. Wes Steve and Marti’s husband and children.
We have certainly lost too many of our extended church family from Maplewood Church of Christ. It saddens me every time I hear of another passing. Marti is with the Lord now and we will all join here one day.

Chuck and family,
My heart aches for you. You and your family are in my prayers! I have always loved Marti wish her and you peace now. She is in the arms of Jesus and who knows she and Roy are probably smiling down on us and having a good chat – laughing alot I’m sure. Love you all! Call if you ever just need a friend to talk to. Linda
My heart and prayers go out to you, Chuck, and to your family. You blessed Marti and those around her with your care and your example of a loving family.
My thoughts and prayers are with Chuck and his family at this time.
Marti was a great person and always had a smile on her face.
She will be missed.
