Martha Lynne Peterson (Walker) was born to James C. Walker DVM (deceased) and Carolyn Cassidy (Rundell) on August 21, 1968, in Concordia, Kansas. She is proceeded in death by her sister Melanie and grandparents.
Martha worked many years in hotel restaurant management and as a front office manager for CarStar. She put her faith in God at an early age and sought to live out her love for Jesus by opening her life and home to serve others. Martha was known to many for her sweet spirit and kind heart. She was an active member of Celebrate Recovery, first in Schererville, Indiana and in various communities in Colorado. After she moved to Colorado Springs, she became a member of a cancer support group, AAHS Football booster club and regularly attended Woodman Valley Chapel. She enjoyed crafting, planning the annual RGD, travel to her sons, nieces, and nephews' various sports events and staying involved in her boys and grandson’s lives. Martha professed her faith in Jesus throughout her struggle with cancer and was often heard saying, “I win when I get to heaven.” She lost her six-and-a-half-year battle with colon cancer on December 8, 2021.
