The Martin Family Legacy
Marge & Leroy Martin
For nearly sixty-five years, Marge and Leroy built a life around family, faith, and quiet service. This site remembers Marge (1939–2026) and celebrates the legacy she and Leroy built together — a legacy Leroy carries forward today, and one continued through the memorial fund in their name.

You can cherish her memory and let it live on… smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Continue Marge’s work for children.
As Ohio District Kiwanis First Lady, Marge led the First Lady’s Project and helped raise $30,000 for children’s hospitals. This fund carries that mission forward — improving the lives of underprivileged children through the Ohio District Kiwanis Foundation.
