Flossie May
Martin, 87, of Caldwell, went to be with
her savior Friday, September 24, 1993, at her home.
Graveside services
will be conducted at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, September 26, 1993,
at the Wilder Cemetery,
with Pastor George Greenwood of the First Assembly of God
Church, Caldwell, officiating.
Services are under
the direction of Dakan Funeral Chapel, Caldwell.
Flossie was born
November 28, 1905, in
Smith Center, Kansas, to proud parents Charles and Alice
Scott. Her childhood
years were spent in the prairies of
Kansas.
She so fondly shared
experiences of her childhood life, growing up surrounded by
the waving wheat fields and colorful sunflowers.
On December 31,
1925, Flossie married Theodore Cecil "Bill" Martin.
They moved to
Idaho with their toddler son, Eldon, in 1936,
making their first home in Boise,
later moving to
Caldwell
and then to Wilder in 1939, where they lived for 44 years.
After the death of
her husband in 1984, Flossie moved to
Caldwell.
Flossie loved
life. Her family and
her church occupied her time. She was a Charter Member of
the Assembly of God Church in Wilder.
Her love for people
was special, always having time for others and never turning
away a listening ear. Her
love, compassion, and a gift of gentleness flowed out to
those around her.
Flossie is survived by one son and daughter-in-law,
Eldon and Ann Martin of Caldwell; two daughters and
sons-in-law, Ardyce and Bill Fisher of Eagle and Phyllis and
Jim Ivie of Caldwell; two sisters and one brother-in-law,
Hazel Davenport and Gladyce and Lloyd Smart of Caldwell;
eight grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; and several
stepgrandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Preceding her in
death are her parents, Charles and Alice Scott; her husband,
T.C. "Bill" Martin; her brother, Raymond Scott; her sister,
Ethel Hubbard; and her grandson, Douglas "Dutch" Martin.
Flossie May Scott
Martin leaves with us a beautiful example of strength, joy,
gentleness, and love. We
will miss our mother, our friend, a special lady, a gift
from God.
Friends may call at the Dakan Funeral Chapel on Saturday
from 8 to 9 p.m.
