Martha was born in Vicksburg Mississippi to Arthur and Clara Bee Thompson on June 22, 1952. She attended Culkin Academy and graduated from Warren Central High School, Class of 1970. She obtained an associates degree in business from UNLV. During her time in Las Vegas Martha did some stage performing and worked as a reporter for a local newspaper, interviewing many famous celebrities of the day. She then worked in sales for a small vitamin & supplement company in Las Vegas before returning to Mississippi and opening a coffee and gift shop in Richland, “Flip FLops”. Martha was an avid collector, designer and maker of all kinds of jewelry. She was very creative in other avenues of art as well. Martha also loved gardening, from the planning and layout to digging in the dirt. She had many friends and always had a smile on her face. Her generosity of time for others shined and she helped many people through their lives, always placing value on each one. Many of her friends through life depended on her friendly counseling and advice. Her love, smiles, hugs and wisdom will be truly missed by all who were fortunate to have her in their lives.
