Etta L. Martin

Etta Lorraine Martin, 91, of North Woodstock, NH, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday March 21, 2026, passing peacefully surrounded by the love of her family. She is now reunited in eternal peace and joy with her beloved husband, Ralph “Honky” Martin.

Etta lived a life rooted in faith, love, and laughter. She was a woman of quiet strength who trusted in God through every season of her life. Her kindness, compassion, and steadfast spirit were a reflection of her faith, and she touched the lives of all who knew her.

She was a devoted mother to her four children: Steven, Sharon, Jimmy, and Tammie. Her greatest blessing was her family, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Affectionately known as “G Gram”, she was the heart of generations. Etta’s legacy continues through her 10 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense pride and joy. She is also lovingly remembered by her nieces and nephews, who held a special place in her heart.

Etta had a giving spirit and a servant’s heart. She was a faithful volunteer for many years with the American Cancer Society, offering her time and compassion to support others in need. She also served on several community boards, always willing to lend her voice, leadership, and a helping hand to make a difference in the lives of those around her.

Etta found comfort in her faith and carried it with grace, always offering love and encouragement to those around her. She leaves behind a legacy of unwavering love and a reminder of God’s presence in our lives.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want… Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” – Psalm 23
