Mom was Beautiful inside and out, witty, and a true Blessing to all. She knew she had been Blessed with many extra years of life. She thanked God for the time she had. She had a big heart so full of love, enough Love to share with her whole Family. She prayed for each of her Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. Along with her Siblings, and their families. She always wanting the best for everyone.
Our hearts will never be the same, the void is huge. The legacy she left behind is unmeasurable. I pray it will remain in each of us. She taught us to Love the Lord with all of our heart, to be kind to all, don’t let time pass you by, make your tomorrows today, find your Blessings in life, make a positive difference, show the love you have for each other, don’t have regrets, and most of all to have unconditional Love.
Our Angel on earth has moved to another location, we will see you again,
Your job well done Mom, may you rest in Peace

Mom, you have been my best Friend in life. I couldn’t have ask for a better Mom or Friend. I will miss our daily one on one visits, your encouraging words, you beautiful smile and your love for our Family. You have always made me push myself to be a good person, to help others with love and not to expect anything in return. I will be sure to live out your legacy and make you proud of the life I live. I love you so much Mom and I know we will be together again.
Nana, our hearts are empty and full at the same time. Empty because you are no longer here, but full because of all the love you have given over the years. You were always there to listen, help, give advice and love. I regret missing so much time with you due to the pandemic, but your health was far more important. I am grateful for the BIG BROTHER episodes, the manicure time, Sunday lifetime watching, and texting we shared while watching BB23 when I couldn’t be there. You are the strongest woman I have ever known and you have distilled that into me and I will always be there for my children just as you were. Family First, fun later. Be a parent first, and friend second. You are so deeply missed, and I will see you on the other side. Give everyone up there hugs from the Diez Squad. Love you ♥️
Aunt Marty, I know you are dancing in Heaven with Uncle Dick under the care of our precious Lord Jesus Christ. You left a wonderful legacy of Love on Earth. Until we meet again…❤️🙏
I have never met a more selfless, giving person. Her life was about her family and how she could make their lives better, and that she did everyday. I especially appreciate the love she gave to my children, as she did all her Grandchildren, and how she made each of them feel special for who they are. What she meant to others can only be measured in the void now left in hearts by her absence. My life certainly was blessed by Marty being in it, and she will be missed. Well done they good and faithful servant…Rest in Peace. 💔😪
What a beautiful obituary! Marty and Dick were the best of friends to everyone, and I was fortunate to work with Dick, who taught me everything I know, at McGuire AFB and be included among their friends. I always felt welcome in their home and enjoyed spending time with the family every week. This never comes at a good time, but both Marty and Dick enjoyed a very full life and provided a great life for their family. I take comfort knowing they are together and out of pain. God bless all of you and your families.
Thank you for being a part of our family you will be greatly missed. Dianne is a blessing and thankful for her. Love John and Cheryl
Aunt Marty, what a Legacy you are leaving here on Earth. No doubt to carry on with Debbie, Uncle Dick,and Michael. You were loved as much as you loved. Sya hi to dad for me!!! RIP, you earned it.
Love Alby T
Nana- I will miss our talks,texts and sending you flowers every birthday. I keep getting reminders about your skylight photos.You were always so supportive of me,and Im so sad you’re gone.I remember all the times we spent together and all the memories I had growing up. You used to buy me a rootbeer slushy when we visited grandpa at the mall,and when you would wake up early we would watch the sunrise together when I was little and watching the golden girls and I love Lucy and continued memories as an adult. I remember visiting one day as an adult and talking about your childhood and growing up.I just sat and listened to you and grandpa for hours.Your sense of humor will be missed as well as your laugh and love you gave us. I thank my mom for sending me down every year to FL and for you to have me stay for months. You and grandpas house was the house to be at,and no matter who owns that house,that will always be the grandfather tree,and it will always be the memories you gave all of us and the memories we all as a family gave one another. I know we all will continue to keep your memory alive in our hearts.
My condolences go out to everyone ever touched by this wonderful woman!!! Until we meet again!! 🙏 Enjoy the reunion with those that have been taken already.❤
Marty leaves behind a strong legacy of love and devotion, and her loss will be felt greatly for a long time. She had a great smile and a wonderful laugh! May we all be the kind of mom, wife, sister, nana and great-nana she was. Marty is with Jesus now. What a blessing for her! My condolences to the entire family. I’m praying for you all to feel God’s presence.

Aunt Marty was a very good woman, very family oriented and was like a mother to all. She left behind a huge legacy and with all the memories so many family members have, she will be missed by many and will be remembered for a long time. She has now been welcomed by the Lord and previously passed family members and is in a good place and at peace. RIP Aunt Marty
RIP Aunt Marty. You were as well loved as you gave love. What a wonderful legacy you leave behind as you move forward with Christ. Say hi to Dad and Uncle Dickie for me as well as Nana, Dolly and Uncle Ray. Gid bless.
Remembering Marty : A woman of strength, wisdom and faith. She put God first then her family. Her way was always to encourage. Her honest truth served many hearts and caused many to grow. She was my friend and I will miss her.
Aunt Marty, what a blessing you have been to everyone surrounding you. You led by example, showing us all how to love, accept and take care of our family. You live on in our family’s hearts.💕
Mrs. Tatro was one of the nicest persons I’ve had the pleasure of knowing during my life. I can never remember a time she was not smiling. I truly was blessed to have gotten to know her 35 years ago.
Heaven received another angel
Many a lonely moment, often a silent tear but you will always have a beautiful memory of your Marty so dear.
A woman of God with a kind heart and a happy smile, and one so special to pass along an amazing legacy to you her family.
God bless you all during this loss and lift you up to see her in the Lord’s loving arms.
