Martha Joseph

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ the staff at Deisler Funeral Home

Martha was a much loved and respected member of our ' Monday at 7' book club. Hearts are broken all through Saginaw and beyond. Holding you close in our thoughts. Mary Kretschmer Klein

Martha Ann was a beloved friend and neighbor for over twenty years. Typical of her loving and sincere disposition, Martha kept in touch even up until days before her death. My deepest condolences to Molly, Tom, and John at this very sad time. I loved your Mother very much. Eileen (McCourt) Maguire

Martha Ann was one of the larger than life figures in my life. We met in 2001 shortly after I graduated from college and was hired by Field Neurosciences Institute. We hit it off instantly and she soon began introducing me to leaders throughout Saginaw who would become the cornerstone supporters of Michigan Sports Unlimited. We traveled to Rome together in 2005 where we met Pope Benedict, took the train to Florence, and spent countless hours talking over wonderful meals (and red wine). Martha Ann was a mentor and a friend that I’ve stayed in contact with for more than 20 years. She was always in my corner. I am heartbroken that she is gone, but so thankful that she was part of my life. I’ll miss her dearly. - Brian Sheridan

I am shocked and saddened by Aunt Martha Ann's passing. I spoke with her a week ago, mentioning visiting us at Tawas this summer. As usual, she was alert, positive, inquisitive – how’s my family, etc. First memory was 1960 at her mother's (Nana) home in Saginaw, W. Hannum Blvd. Martha Ann was a recent college graduate. She drove a light blue car, perhaps a '56 Ford? She was pretty. And tall (compared to me at age 3). Then her wedding to Uncle Tom Joseph. Lots of tall people in the reception hall. A perfect union! I became close to Martha Ann in the last several years, learning of her keen insights and indefatigable good cheer. She will live long in our hearts and memories , having lived a life to full measure -- helping others, loving family, positive attitude, and endless energy. I will miss her beautiful smile!
