• Auntie has been in my life since day one as Uncle Harry was my Godfather. When I was a child I would sometimes spend a day or two over at their house. I remember once when I was over there she sewed me two very pretty little sundresses which I treasured. When I was much older she taught me how to knit those famous dishcloths of hers. She was always full of encouragement. Auntie was a woman of many talents....a wonderful cook, baker (Bierocks...mmm), gardener, and homemaker. But her special talent was with people. Whenever we got together she never failed to to say how Duane and Dwight and their families were doing...with so much pride and love. When she lost Uncle Harry I had never seen her look so lost. Through her strong faith she had the courage to carry on with so much determination. To me she was a true warrior. During that challenging time she spoke of how her sons worked part time and helped out at home. They were a team. Years later Auntie married my Uncle Dave who was such a gentle and kind man. Both he and Auntie had very strong family values. It was a good match for both of them. Auntie cared for Uncle Harry after his accident and Uncle Dave when he was struck down with Lou Gehrig's Disease. She stood by both her husbands without complaint....only with complete love and devotion. Auntie was a true woman of substance. Anyone who was her family or friend was very fortunate to have her in their life. I loved her unconditionally... to me she was perfect. Thank you for having me in your life Auntie....and making time to see me without fail whenever I visited my dad in Winnipeg. When I think of you I see that incredible smile and twinkle in your eyes....you will always be in my heart. To Duane, Dwight and family: Thinking of you all as you celebrate Auntie's remarkable life. - Posted by: Angela Martin (Niece/Friend) on: Nov 19, 2022

• Condolences to the Gelhorn and Martin Families. Aunty Martha was a beautiful lady and always had the biggest smile. Even though our families had drifted apart I often though of her. She was such a go getter . R.I.P. Aunty. - Posted by: Debra Morris (Isaak) (Neice) on: Nov 19, 2022

• Marta was a good friend, always willing to help, or just to have fun. Was so proud of her sons and their families. Have some fond memories of riding with her in her Cadillac! My deepest condolences to the family. Sophie Huebert. - Posted by: Sophie Huebert (Friend) on: Nov 19, 2022

• I first met Aunty Marta at my wedding shower in 1970. Her warmth, kindness and fantastic sense of humour (I'll never forget those pot holders she gave me) helped me feel at ease meeting Gary's family members, many for the first time on that day. From that moment on, Aunty Marta was my absolute favourite. She was so much fun to be around and visiting her was a real treat. She was the ultimate hostess and we always left full of her delicious cooking and baking and lots of stories from the past. Aunty Marta was an elegant lady with a sweet heart and kind soul. She was loved beyond words. "Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts, you are always there. You left us beautiful memories to treasure, And you are missed beyond measure." Our deepest condolences to all the family. With all our Love, Gary & Jo-Anne Martin - Posted by: Gary and Jo Martin (Nephew and Niece) on: Nov 19, 2022

• Aunty Marta was an amazing, beautiful (inside and out) women who loved life. Whether it was Christmas in July, or family gatherings that brought us all together I remember her with fondness. She was always laughing and genuinely cared how you were doing in your life. Til we meet again Aunty Marta. - Posted by: Elaine Gelhorn (Niece in law) on: Nov 19, 2022
