Martha was the daughter of H.W. and Julia Every, born on Oct 23, 1949 in York, South Carolina. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Bobby and Tommy Every. She is survived by her son, Brad Bodine and wife Tammy; son, Jake Bodine and wife Melissa; son, Wayne Bodine and wife Connie; daughter, Julie Bilhimer and husband Joe; her grandchildren, Ellen & Anna Bodine, Brandon & Leah Sewester; Coby, Breeley, and Jaelee Bodine; Taylor, Brady, Drake, and Jayda Bodine; Ashlee, Abbey, and Trenton Bilhimer; and her siblings, brother, James Every and sister, Mary Rhyner.

Martha was known as a loving, patient, and kind mom, sister, daughter and friend.  She enjoyed music and dancing – in the car, kitchen, or on the dance floor.  She had talents for cooking, sewing, cross-stitching and rocking babies to sleep.  Martha loved the magic of Christmas and the special time with family during the holiday season.  She retired from Boeing after a career as a project accountant.  One of Martha’s proudest moments was the completion of the Marine Corps Marathon while raising several thousand dollars for the Leukemia Society.  But what Martha was most proud of were her four kids, their spouses and their children.
