The youngest of 5 children, Martina graduated from St. Elizabeth's Grammar and High School. She received a bachelors degree in elementary education in 1957 from Immaculata University, Frazier, PA. Upon graduation she taught second grade in the Wilmington School District Martina's greatest loves were her family, church and her "Irishness." Martina delighted in the raising of 6 children. She gave them a wonderful sense of what is important in life. She was a devout Catholic attending daily Mass. Martina found joy in helping others, she volunteered for the Junior Board of Christiana Care, was a Cub Scout Den Mother, and enjoyed her work at the McDonald's LPGA Championship for many years.
