She also leaves behind one grandson, Tim Simpson, four step-grandchildren, and many step great-grandchildren.  Lets not forget her faithful puppies; Cade, Digger, and Po. Martha was predeceased by her son Larry, daughter Ruth, brother Harold Trustch, and sister Betty Nichols, all of whom she is now reunited with in peace.
