I worked with Martha at the NC Department of Public Instruction. She was an amazing educator, a consummate professional, and a kind friend. I am very saddened to learn of her passing. I pray that her family finds comfort in knowing that hers was a life well lived.

Martha was a mother to me for a few years when I moved to Texas! She took me under her wing and filled the void when I missed my mom. Even working together for a few years, she always found the time to love, offer wisdom, and some motherly advice. She always had a strong love for the Lord, and always incorporated it in our conversations, prayed, and enjoyed each other's company. She was one of the hardest workers I know, even when life got difficult, she didn't let it detour her from her work nor stopped her from her goals. We shared many, many memories together.

I only had the pleasure of speaking to Martha during a part of my teaching career where I needed some guidance from an experienced person. She was so inspirational, loving, and kind. In that short time I know that she had a strong love for God, her family, and anyone she could offer her voice of wisdom and help. She was a beautiful person. I send my condolences to the Ramseur family. May God give you peace during this difficult time.

Martha was a joy and inspiration to me! The joy was from working and living life with her the past four years. We worked hard but had fun! We had lots of laughs, and tackled big challenges together with great success! She was my "right hand" whom I could not have done it without her! But most of all, she was an incredible inspiration to me! She worked hard. Very hard! And even when she wasn't feeling well, it never changed how hard she worked and the excellence with which she did it! She was smart and strategic, and creative. She was a great leader of our team and inspired all of them! She and I talked often about our families, so I am praying for all of you, as this is such a huge loss! I grieve with you and pray that you will feel God's powerful love, comfort and peace during this time! I pray as the pain eases, no matter how long that takes, that the wonderful memories of good times with Martha will grow strong to fill the void! Martha and I also talked often about looking forward to the day we would dance with Jesus in heaven with no more pain or struggles. Oh, how I know she is enjoying that right now! I will miss her tremendously, but will dance with her someday! Blessings! Kelly Elliott

There are no words to express the sadness of the passing of Mrs. Martha. She was a nice and warm person who talked to my daughter a lot at the family store. The world is much less now that she is gone. With our love and sympathy, Martha "Nan" Glover Johnson and Family of Lattimore/Kingstown.
