Mrs. Martha was a woman of many passions and a deeply generous spirit. Her hands were skilled in the art of canning, preserving the flavors of each season, and her voice lifted in song, often her own compositions, a testament to her musical talent. A dedicated minister for many years, she shared her faith through word and song, accompanying herself on the guitar. Mrs. Terrell found joy in simple pleasures, particularly the thrill of discovering hidden treasures in thrift stores. Her love for family was boundless, and her home was always open, her table filled with food for any guest who walked through her door.

She was preceded in death by her Husband, Toxie Terrell; four Sons, Ronald Terrell, Richard Terrell, Kenneth Terrell, Billy Glenn Terrell; her Father, Dudley Lilly; her Mother, Ruby Albritton Lilly; one Grandchild, Toni Terrell; and three Brothers, J C Lilly, Bill Lilly Robert Lilly.

Her memory will be forever cherished by her Son, Darron Terrell (Judy); her Daughter, Shirley Baldwin (Calvin); five Grandchildren, Sherry Cooper (Thomas), Dewanna Thomas (Jason), Brandon Stogner (Daphnne), Dale Stogner, Tosha McRaney (Mark); fifteen Great Grandchildren; eleven Great-Great Grandchildren; and a host of Nephews, Nieces, and Friends.

Mrs. Terrell will be carried to her final rest by those honored to serve as Pallbearers; they will be Thomas Cooper, Jason Thomas, Brent Pierce, Jeremy Anderson, Lavelle Merrit, and Curtis Bedwell. Honorary pallbearers will be Larry Terrell, Jerome Terrell, Dale Stogner, and Kenny Bedwell.
