She was also an amazing cook, especially known for her lemon cakes, and she loved making meals for her family. More than anything, Martha was outgoing, kind, and always ready to help anyone who needed it. She had a big heart and a generous spirit. She will be missed so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Survivors include her children, Athena M. Miller of Marion, Timothy O.
