Jeanette R. Martin, my grandmother, and mother to my father passed from this world on November 12, 2010.
Grandma was born in Georgia in 1918 almost the same day and month of her passing in 2010. She was one child of a large family including two brothers (Gerald and Earnest) and four sisters (Lorraine, Cora Lee, Julia, and Annie Mae). She was the last living sibling.
Among several places her life may have taken her, I have knowledge of several that included my father in Las Vegas in 1946, Minneosota in 1952, and later her permenant residence in Vestavia Hills, Alambama (near Birmingham). This is where I always considered their home.
She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Robert Martin, her son Jeffery Davis Martin, and daughter Kaye Hodge in addition to their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Daugther Kay and son Jeffery
Attending grandchildren: Donna, Deeane, Sean, and Athesia
We are blessed in the love and care the Hodge family has extended to our grandparents in these later years and thankful for them.
As we all greive at this time in her passing, let us have peace that she knew and loved the Lord. By knowledge of her faith in Jesus Christ, we are encouraged to know that she is with the Lord and her soul is at rest. May we all stand comforted in Gods word in which Paul reminds us "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain...having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better (Phillipians 1:21-23).
May God bless all of you and give you peace.
