Sis.Martha Legette was my very first ministry of music for our choir during the70s as her husband , the late Willie Legette pastored the First Born Church of the Living God located in Newburgh, NY. I can never remember her being rude or harsh just a sweetly sainted person. May her reward be great in that day when GOD shall reward you🀍

Ps Martha Legette was a wonderful kind and lovely lady. The moment I met her, her smiles reflected the love of Christ. She was so sweet with a beautiful soul. I am glad I will get to see her in heaven one of this days. To family may God comfort and give you strength. Sister Lucy Kenei

Mom Legette- My heart is missing you. I will miss all of the conversations we have had for over 25+ years. I promised you when Sheila passed, I would always stay in contact with you and I did. You were a grandmother to my daughter for so many years. You taught me so many things and inspired me so many times. I will miss you so much. Your love for the Lord was ALWAYS apparent. If there was ever a person I knew would be in heaven, it certainly is you. I love you Mom Legette, today is the day we will celebrate your life on earth. I thank God for blessing me to have you in my life. Rest in peace Mom.

I'm so sorry to hear that Mrs Martha has gone to be with our Heavenly Father. She will be truly missed. Her sweet spirit and personality was a joy to many. I pray for peace and comfort for Willie and Marcus and the family. She was really proud of you Marcus. Much Love Sheila Carmichael

Ms. Martha and Mr. Willie were my next door neighbors for many years. She and I shared laughs and garden veggies throughout the years. She was a wonderful, sweet and caring lady, I will miss her dearly. She touched many many people with her gentle spirit. Maggie

My Godmother Martha was one of the sweetest people I knew. She showed me how to pray and how to live for Christ What an inspiration she was in my life. Thank God I had the pleasure of calling her my Godmother. Until we meet again, Always in my heartπŸ’œ

Mother Legette was the name that I called her. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I loved her outfits and matching hats. She was one sharp dressing woman along with her beautiful personality. Boy she could play an organ to any song. I'm going to miss you Mother Legette, I will not forget you. Saint Luke Member, Debra Harris l

My Godmother was a SAINT and a angel missing from heaven. Her life has spoken for her. I can never replace her presence in my life BUT God loves her more and she is no longer in pain. She is with her Lord and Savior forever.Rest in Jesus.....You have kept the faith and finished your course. See you in the morning and someday and I too will fly away,!!!

Martha was a very good and caring person. I will miss her so much.

Pastor Legette recently spoke at our Pastor's Anniversary wearing heels at 81 years old. She was so encouraging and we enjoyed her tremendously. We are so thankful for the love that she demonstrated during our mother and Pastor's illness. We will also miss her playing that organ. It has been such a joy knowing Pastor Legette and the smile that she wore constantly. Pastor Linda Hamilton and St. James Holiness Church Family

She was a sweet person, and I will truly miss her. May God strengthen the family during this time of bereavement.

Praying for you and your family at this time
