When I think of Aunt Marty, I will always remember her sweet encouraging spirit and her big hugs! Love and prayers to Karla, Darrell and the rest of the family.
I had the pleasure of working with Marty at the Times News. She was the sweetest lady, and I always enjoyed hearing her talk about the Lord. My condolences to her family.
Praying for peace and comfort for the family. Love & Prayers Bishop Steve & Jackie Crews
Aunt Marty was a true blessing to my family. She was a true friend. Even though she was related to you more, she always told us that we were her family too. She was always so encouraging and willing to pray for any needs. I recall going to the assisted living facility many times and when I walked in her face lite up and she was so excited to see me. She would clap her hands and say there is my family. Before I left she would ask me how she could pray for me. Even near the end she may not have known my name but she still recognized I was family. I will truly miss my visits with her. I will also miss all her prayers & encouragement. She truly loved her family.
marty as you know our hearts were tied together we will see you soon i know you and mona are singing to the angles and to GOD ALL OUR LOVE
I can’t help but think of all this world has lost when I consider Marty’s passing. I never heard a negative word come from her heart, Never felt a critical spirit from her all the years I’ve known her. Just the thought of Marty speaking the simple words, “How you doing buddy?” brings peace now as it did so many times in the past years. Heaven’s gain is truly this world’s loss. I can honestly say of Marty Henderson, she is one of those of whom this world was not worthy! My love and prayers for the Asheville / Fletcher family.
