Obituary

Anna G. Martin, 99, a long-time farm resident near Bachmanville, Pennsylvania, died on Friday, April 22nd, at Heaton Woods Residence in Montpelier, Vermont, where she resided after her retirement. She was born on a farm near Deodate, PA to Cleveland L. Gantz and Minnie Snyder Gantz on March 22, 1923. She was one of four children: Amos, Earl, and Elizabeth Gantz Spangler, all of whom predeceased her. Anna married Melo S. Martin in 1945 and she continued to work the farm they owned after his death in 1963. She was for many years a devoted member of the Brethren in Christ congregation at Shenks Community Church. Anna was known by all to be a very hard worker, and cleaned homes until she finally decided to retire at 85 years old. Because of her love for cats and the many she had living on the farm with her over the years, her grandsons lovingly referred to her as "Kitty Cat Grandma". She was an avid reader, enjoyed picking black raspberries and was a ruthless Chinese Checkers opponent. Anna cherished her family and enjoyed spending time spoiling her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Although she didn't enjoy the cold weather, she enjoyed living her final years in Vermont eating maple "creemees". She is survived by two sons: Attorney Charles Stanley Martin and his partner June Sundberg of Montpelier, VT, and Dr. Rodger Carl Martin and his wife Dr. Madhavi Martin of Powell, Tennessee; three grandchildren: Erika and her husband Jeremy Smith of East Montpelier, VT, Neel Martin and Samir Martin of Powell, TN, and two great grandsons: Slade and Rowen Smith of East Montpelier, VT; a nephew Eugene Gantz of Millersburg, PA, and two nieces Yvonne and her husband Blaine Fry of Harrisburg, PA, and Linda and her husband Dennis Hetrick of Palmyra, PA. Funeral services will be held at the Hoover Funeral Home, 88 Lucy Avenue, Hershey, PA, on Friday April 29th at 11 a.m. The family will begin receiving guests at 10 a.m. Interment will be in Spring Creek Cemetery in Hershey. Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Habitat for Humanity.
