Martha was able to travel with her family to Ireland, where she kissed the Blarney Stone, Wales, Scotland, England and Brazil.
Martha enjoyed the community life at New Visions in Carlisle in recent years. The staff and residents' daily camaraderie and support, trips and holiday celebrations allowed her gentle and cheerful spirit to flourish.
