Martha sadly passed away, Monday, August 17th, 2015 in the presence of her family at the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus following an 8 year struggle with cancer. Predeceased by her parents Ford and Margaret (McLachlin) Stinson. Left to grieve and mourn her passing are her brothers Richard (Anne), Donald (Lynda), long time friend Earl Thomas, nephews Brett (Amy), Jason (Nicole), David (Debbie), Maxine, Zoe, Kyle and their partners, great nephews, great nieces, cousins and many other family members. Martha was a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc.N.) with much of her career in Diabetic Research. Well known for her love of horses, Martha was an accomplished rider and over the years showed on the circuit particularly with Arabians. According to her wishes there will be no funeral services and cremation has taken place. There will be a memorial celebration on Friday, August 28th, 2015 at the Blair & Son Family Centre, 15 Gore St. W. Perth between hours of 11:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. Friends are invited to join the family in a sharing of memories of Martha at that time. No flowers please; a charitable donation to the Multiple Myeloma Cancer Research Program at the Ottawa General Hospital would be appreciated. The family would especially like to thank Dr. Harold Atkins and his team, the nursing staff at M.D.C.U. and the nurses and doctors on 5W and 7E, all at the Ottawa General for their tireless dedication to Martha's comfort and well being over the last number of years.
