Obituary of Martha Emma Green

Martha Emma Green passed away peacefully at home on the 28th of June 2023.  She was born December 12, 1932, in Egypt Washington to Emil and Emma Kern.  Martha grew up on a wheat farm with milk cows, work horses, pigs, chickens, and a large garden. This created her love for the land and animals.

Martha met Jack Green on a blind date, and they married on August 23, 1950. Jack and Martha started their family having 6 children.  She wore many hats throughout her life.  Wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, great-great grandma, bookkeeper, housewife, farmer, post office janitor, writer/storyteller and Rancher. She was a mother/caregiver to whatever 2 or 4 legged stray came around. She will be remembered for her love of God, love of family, her kindness and humor.  Through life’s challenges, she was like the energizer bunny; by God’s grace she bounced back and kept on going.

Martha is survived by her daughters Cathy (Mike) Stoltey, Becky (Dale) Johnston, Ld (Gwen) Green, Wendy (Joe) Yearout; daughter in-law Diane Green; 13 grandchildren; 34 great grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren.  She is preceded in death by Jack Green, 2 sons David and Randy Green, her parents, her sisters Anna Marie and Ruth, and son in-law Nolan Shattuck.

A Celebration of Martha’s life will be held the Saturday, July 22, 2023 at 11 am at the Plummer Assembly of God Church.
