Martha was more than the matriarch of our family. She was our foundation, our prayer warrior, our encourager, and a faithful servant of Jesus Christ. For nearly a century, she walked hand in hand with the Lord, leaving footprints of faith for generations to follow. Through every season of life, her trust in God remained steadfast. She lived with a quiet strength, an unwavering conviction, and a love that made everyone around her feel seen, valued, and cherished.

To her family, Martha was the heartbeat of every gathering and the keeper of a legacy that cannot be measured in years alone. She possessed a rare gift of making people feel at home in her presence. Whether through her wisdom, her prayers, her laughter, or her embrace, she reflected the love of Christ in a way that left a lasting impact on everyone she encountered.

For her grandchildren, she was so much more than a grandmother. She was a teacher of faith, a source of comfort, and one of the first examples of God’s love. Through her life, she showed them who Jesus is—not simply through words, but through the way she lived. Her prayers covered them, her wisdom guided them, and her love gave them confidence to face life’s challenges. She taught them that faith was not merely something practiced on Sundays but something lived every day. Her laughter was contagious, her smile unforgettable, and her ability to bring light into a room was a gift that will be deeply missed.

Though our hearts grieve her absence, we rejoice in knowing that she is now exactly where she longed to be—in the presence of the Savior she faithfully served for so many years. The woman who spent her life pointing others toward Jesus has now heard the words she lived to hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Martha’s legacy continues through her loving family, including her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and the countless lives she touched through her prayers, kindness, and unwavering faith. Martha is survived by her loving children, Marie Yolène Desir Jeanty and Jean Robert Jeanty, Ginette Michaud Privert and Jocelerme Privert, Margalie Williams, Fritzner David and Rachelle David and Jacqueline David, Johane Chantal J. Lilite and Azer Lilite, her beloved nephew Pierre Valdo Joseph and Ianni Joseph, her treasured grandchildren, Richardson Louis and Neila Louis, Carl Louis and Beth Louis, Roberto Jeanty and Yolcie Jeanty, Darlene Jeanty, Ann-Gael Deborrah Privert and Reynald Lafond, Sarah-Joël Martine Privert-Victor and Marc-Eddy Victor, Vick-Ariel Netgie Privert, Woodlyn Williams Thevenin and Yoody Thevenin, Wanda Williams, Stephanie Williams-Sejour and Joel Sejour, Tonie Williams, Bianca Williams- Bulger and Kenneth Bulger, Nicolas David, Julien David, Mateo David, Tully-Martine Lilite, Marthen Lilite, Jael-Martie Lilite, and Joenah-Marlie Lilite, and her cherished great-grandchildren, Melitsa M Williams, Jonny T Godley, Yohan-Li Louis, Joel J. Sejour, Jaylee L. Sejour, Reyna Gabrielle Lafond, Victoria Gael Lafond, Kairos Lilite, Kassius Lilite, Sydnee Ariel Victor, Parnel Alexee Victor, Khloe Jisselle Bulger, Kendall Rae Bulger, Jayden Deloney, Jasmine Deloney, Xaqeri Jeanty, Pierre Anthony Joseph, and Caleb Joseph, her extended family, and countless lives she touched with her wisdom and prayers.

While she has left this earthly home, the seeds of faith she planted continue to grow. The lessons she taught, the prayers she prayed, the love she shared, and the laughter she gave to those around her will remain with us forever. Today, we do not simply mourn a life that ended. We celebrate a life that was beautifully lived, a race that was faithfully run, and a legacy that will continue for generations to come.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
