Sue A. Martin

Sue Ann Martin, age 74, of Wenatchee, WA passed away January 9" 2016 with her husband Ron and son Scott by her side. Sue was a devoted wife and mother with the kindest of heart that was full of love to share. Sue was born the second child of three on October 26" 1941 in Toppenish, WA to Darwin and Clara Davis. 17 years later she met the love of her life, Ron Martin, and they were married on July 10* 1959 in Sunnyside, WA and spent the next 57 years together. They made their first home in Prosser, WA where their first child, Leslie, was born. In the winter of 1963 Ron, Sue, and Leslie moved to Wenatchee where they have resided since. In 1967 they had their second child, Scott. Sue was a voracious reader who loved her cats, gardening, bird watching and the many activities both her daughter and son were involved with. Sue cultivated her love of gardening while working for a local nursery for 9 seasons and spent countless hours in her garden at home. When Leslie became involved with horses, Sue attended many of Leslie's horse riding events while at the same time attending all of her son's little league baseball games. After Leslie experienced a tragic horse riding accident at age 15, which left her dependent upon her care, Sue devoted her time to Leslie but never wavered in giving as much love and attention to her son and husband. Sue and Leslie spent their days deepening the bond they shared over many years by doing the things they loved. Sue's heart and soul could only be compared to the beauty of a newly opened rose, a woodland bird's song on an autumn day's breaking dawn, or the setting of the sun upon the ocean. In the same way these things hold beauty of their own, they will forever remind us of the beautiful person she was. When Sue suffered a debilitating and permanent illness in 1998 which left her unable to care for herself, Ron and Leslie, along with her amazing caregiver Pat, cared for her at home with the same devotion that she showered her family with. Ron devoted his time to her and along with many trips to Spokane to visit their son's family and grandchildren, Ron and Sue continued to enjoy many outings together. Sue is survived by her husband, Ron Martin; Her daughter Leslie Martin; Son and daughter-in Law Scott and Aimee Martin; Grandchildren Hallie, Caitlyn, and Gabriel Martin. Numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister Anita Heitzman and brother Michael Davis. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society, 1474 S. Wenatchee Ave., Wenatchee, WA 98801. Graveside services to be held at a future date.
