Martha, Melissa, Haley, Turner, Caroline, Stephen, and Julie, We are so sorrowful to hear of Martha Elizabeth’s untimely death. We were glad we got to see her and spend time with her Christmas 2020. She has always had a special place in my heart because I was in the delivery room when she was born and I was the first person to hold her. I know you have wonderful memories of her life and love for each of you. We love you and are praying for God’s strength and His unconditional love to carry each of you through this painful and difficult time. In deepest sympathy, Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Karen

I have not known your family long. I did not know your family well. But what I knew was this was a family where "family" truly meant something. There was so much love and support there. During Haley's time at Memorial Day School - grandmother, uncle, aunt sister, brother and their friends supported Haley and supported our school. We were blessed to go the Wason home for Haley's graduation and were treated like we had been a part of the family for years. I was in shock when I received a call and my heart broke for Haley, Turner, Caroline and Connor. I will and Memoriald Day School will always be here for your family. Rest in Peace knowing how much love there is in this community for you and your family.

So sorry for your loss sending thoughts and prayers to all of you

- Regina, Richmond Hill, GA

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the unexpected and untimely death of Martha. I knew Martha while growing up in Savannah. We attended different high schools, and I can certainly attest to her tremendous athletic ability, as I and my school were the unfortunate recipients many of times. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers, and may God be with each of you and give you His amazing grace and strength. Much love, Katie Crawford Wynne

I thought that I was living a life on my own terms in a bubble until I met Martha. I don’t know how we even evolved into the closest of friends because I don’t remember me without her. When I met Martha I met someone as silly, quirky, fun, loved with her whole heart, and was the best mom and wife ever. Martha made going to the gas station fun! We traveled to many places, shared heartfelt stories, and we never had a bad time even when I cried she made me laugh. My life will never be the same without Martha, but her love, fun spirit, and passion for life will always shine on in Haley, Turner, and Caroline. I am blessed for having known such a wonderful woman. Martha changed my life for the better. I will take what I learned from her and keep on being my silly self always looking for a side-eye glance. I will always love and miss you. I will see you again my sweet friend.

We are terribly sorry for the loss of such wonderful person.

- The Wilsons, Savannah, Ga

Martha, it is so rare to meet a person who automatically clicks with not only you but with your whole family and one who shares their family as well. That happened for us, I could always count on you to look after Fenn and never once did I worry! I will always remember when you took Fenn tubing and she tried to lie at 9! I could also always count on you picking on me for being a helicopter mom, I actually changed from knowing you! I'm going to miss our conversations and seeing you. Joe and I will always be there for Caroline, Turner, and Haley! We will try to keep the sass from C down for M! Fly high!

Martha always brought a smile to my face every time I saw her. She could take a joke just as well as she could give one and boy could she give one. I know her son Turner personally. I consider him to be one of the finest young men that I know. I don’t know her daughters but judging by Turner I know that they must be fine young ladies. When she talked about her children you could tell that she was very proud of them. May God give them strength and may she rest in peace
