I was sad to hear of Marty’s passing. I hired Marty for the Western Wayne Schools and worked with her for several years. Marty made a positive impact on the students and staff during her tenure as Middle School Principal and Gifted and Talented Coordinator. Not only was Marty a talented educator, she was also a gifted and talented person. She put her heart into anything that she did. My heart goes out to Larry and the rest of her family. Lynn Sheets
