Martha was born March 28, 1933 at home in Sibley, Louisiana, to Almer and Ruby (Holstead) Davis. She graduated Salutatorian from Choudrant High school and then from Louisiana Business college which prepared her for serving several businesses and organizations throughout her life including Community Trust Bank, O’Neal gas, Choudrant Appliance (as co-owner), the Quota club and the American Business Women’s Association. She was also very active at Alabama Presbyterian Church, serving as an elder, deacon and treasurer for the Women of the Church.
Two of Martha’s greatest joys in life were serving her church and loving her family. She loved combining the two with large and delicious family Sunday lunches after church complete with cheese potatoes, “odd salad” and Miss Ruby sweet tea. To be followed by visiting with family and friends well into the afternoon. In her later years, she took up crocheting; mostly hats and scarves to help keep friends and strangers alike warm during the cooler months.
