I got acquainted with Marty when I lived in Minnesota in the middle 80’s. We quit smoking together! I loved her sense of humor and spirit. So sorry for your loss, my sympathy to you all.

Marty offered a welcoming smile and her friendship when I was a stranger to the area. It meant a lot to me at the time and I’m sure she thought it was no big deal because she was just being herself. She was a sweet soul and I feel blessed to have known her.
