Martha’s greatest joy in life was caring for her family. She had a natural talent for making people feel welcome and was known for her warmth and hospitality. As an exceptional homemaker, she took pride in maintaining a spotless home and creating a nurturing environment for her loved ones. Martha enjoyed gardening, tending her roses, reading, and spending time with her grandchildren, and she always made family gatherings special with three delicious meals whenever they visited. Her bond with her sister Joan was incredibly close, and she cherished their relationship. Martha was also a proud member of the PEO, reflecting her commitment to community and service.
She is survived by her son, Peter (Jane Witman, M.D.) Fischer, M.D. of De Pere and daughter, Lorie (David) Peterson of La Crosse, grandchildren, Andrew, Samuel, D.O., Helen, Alec (Andrea), and Victor, and great grandchildren, Aldon, Avelyn, and Arthur.
