April 21, 2009
Gloria Martin, 83, of Fairmount died Tuesday of a long illness. She was born on Nov. 25, 1925 and lived her entire life in the Fairmount home built by her deceased parents, Alfred and Elsie (Van Cott) Mersfelder. She married William G. “Bill” Martin on May 29, 1942. Gloria enjoyed her home, family, cooking, gardening, and especially being a mother. She enjoyed the annual trip to Maine and New Hampshire where she not only enjoyed the gorgeous mountains and ocean; she developed close friendships over the years. She was also a volunteer at Community General Hospital and Meals on Wheels. She was a great listener; people often sought her advice and counsel. She was predeceased by her husband, William in 1995, infant daughter Cheryl D. in 1945, numerous cousins, and friends. Gloria is survived by her daughter, Lory D. Martin of Fairmount, several cousins -especially John “Albert” Bethka & his wife Martha, and a number of close friends and neighbors throughout the years. Services will be 10 am Thursday at B.L. Bush & Sons Funeral Home, 10 Genesee St., Camillus and friends may greet the family at 9:30 am. Burial will be in Belle Isle Cemetery. Lory would like to publicly thank the following individuals for their loving care during her mother’s illness: Belinda Albino of CCH Home Care, Kathy Jackstadt of Winds of Agape, Dr. John Charles and staff, 2W staff of Community General Hospital, and B unit staff at St Camillus, as well as many others who have helped in her journey. Your assistance was invaluable and most sincerely appreciated. Please sign her guestbook at www.BLBUSH.com
