Martha Jean King

Martha was a lifetime resident of the area and graduated from Kittanning High School. She was a member of West Lebanon Church of God and in her free time enjoyed gardening. Martha's calling in life was to be a wife and mother, and she fulfilled her role wonderfully. She loved caring for her family and always cooked delicious meals for them all to enjoy.

Dan Miller, of Philadelphia, PA; and sisters, Janet Stitt and husband, Timothy, of Bensalem, PA, and Ethel McMillen and husband, James, of Kittanning.
