Please accept my deepest belated sympathy in the departure of "Mrs. Martha!" She was an exceptional pediatric nurse with Parkwood Pediatric for years where I got to meet her and then she helped us in our dermatology office temporarily while we looked for a full-time employee! WE ALL loved your mom and wife and have fond memories of our times together in the office! SHE WILL FOREVER be remembered!! What a joyful personality and very quick learner! I light a candle at my church every week for those to be remembered extra special and I will include her on that list!! God bless.
Warmly, Dr. Marta Hampton and staff

I was so sorry to hear of Martha's passing. She provided years of wise counsel and advice not only as Dr. Rhides' nurse but as a mother and dear friend while we raised our two daughters. She always had a warm smile and kind words wherever you saw her. She knew my mom very well as a fellow nurse amd friend and I enjoyed hearing their kindred stories. We loved Ms. Martha so very much!I pray for peace and comfort for her family and friends today and in the difficult days ahead. Paula Clark Mariion

She was wonderful with children, wonderful with parents, and she had a heart of gold . Praying for all of her family !

We are so very sorry to read of the passing of "Miss Martha". She touched our hearts in so many ways during the care of our three sons during many, many visits to see Dr. Rhodes over approximately 25 years!

We had not seen her in many years, yet just last week, my husband and I were reminiscing in our kitchen about how wonderful and endearing she was each and every time we saw her at the office.

She was a wonderful woman and we will always cherish our memories of her.

Our sincerest condolences to her husband and family. She will be greatly missed by all,

With love and our fondest memories, Bari, Andy, Taylor, Blake , and Ethan
