She was born February 14, 1951, at St. Leos Hospital in Greensboro, NC, and is the daughter of the late Otto Wells and Rubye Adkins Wells of Garner.

Martha touched everyone she met with her infectious smile, grace, sparkling wit, and calming nurturing presence, and she will linger in our hearts forever. “You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? Thats where Ill always love you. Thats where Ill be waiting.” The family will receive friends Thursday, June 27th, from 1-2 pm at Bryan-Lee Funeral Home in Garner, with a funeral service to follow at 2 pm.
