Martha Walters

Martha Ann Walters, 70, of Lucedale, Mississippi, passed away at her home on June 8, 2025. Martha was born on September 27, 1954, to her parents Leonard Watts and Vera Timothy.

Martha was a member of Covenant Baptist church. One of the most fulfilling experiences of her life was participating in a mission trip sponsored by the George Green Baptist Association to North Carolina to help with the devastation there following a series of storms. She cooked, cleaned, and helped rebuild wherever she was needed and of course she made many new friends. Martha never met a stranger. She had a kind, sweet spirit and she loved people: she loved talking to absolutely everyone. Martha always had a smile on her face when you saw her. She loved life and she loved her family.
