She is preceded in death by her parents Frank and Mary Elizabeth Nevil Thomas and brother Ray Thomas. Being a mother was the number 1 love of her life. In younger years, she worked at Nauman’s Florists in Mechanicsville, VA and then 3 Bears Gift Shop. In later years, she volunteered at MCVCVU and crocheted for relaxation. Martha had a servant’s heart, always putting her family first. She also served The Mechanicsville Baptist Church as 3rd Grade Teacher, leading the Ladies Class, and singing in the choir. Martha, who was always strong in her faith, truly enjoyed studying her Bible. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Martha’s name to The Alzheimer’s Association, or The Mechanicsville Baptist Church. Burial will take place at Camp Nelson National Cemetery at a later date.
