Martha “Marti” N. Angert

Martha “Marti” N. Angert, 72, of Marietta, recently departed on May 11, 2011, for the Rainbow Bridge where we are sure many of her four legged companions were awaiting her arrival.

Born November 18, 1938 to Susan and Theodore Fetherston, she began her life in Oak Park, Illinois, moving to New Jersey at the age of two.  She lived in Caldwell, NJ, and graduated from Grover Cleveland High School in 1956.  She attended Marietta College from 1956-58 where she met and later married David B. Angert in 1958.

She is survived by their children, Susan (David) Ludtman and James (Dianah), six grandchildren: Nick Anderson, Missy (Shane Zoller), Teddy Ludtman (Amanda), Sam Ludtman, Chris Angert (Jenny), and Josh Blevins (Sophie), and three great grandchildren: Katelyn Blevins, Braxton Angert and Kaleah Ludtman.  Also a close family friend was left behind, June Britton.

While raising her family she volunteered as a Girl Scout leader, 4-H leader and maintained a decent bowling average with a high game of 279.

In 1986 she went back to school at Washington Technical College, receiving a 2 year technical degree in business management, with a 1 year accounting certificate.  She later attended Washington State Community College receiving a 2 year degree in Early Childhood Education.  She has worked at Miss Peggy’s House, Brownies, JoAnn Fabrics and North Hills Lanes.  After retiring from Miss Peggy’s House she became a volunteer, rescuing Retired Racing Greyhounds, (even adopting several), Fostering as a grandparent at Head Start and being a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children) case worker.  She was always on avid reader, sewer and knitter.
