She was born November 19, 1924 in Oakley, Idaho to Romelyn and Sarah Helen Worthington Adams. When Martha was 10 years old, because of her parents unexpected deaths due to the effects of Typhoid Fever, she and her sister Donna were raised by their uncle and aunt; Daniel and Arzetta Worthington Martin in Pocatello, Idaho.

In 2004 after Wendell and Martha were both retired, they moved to their home is Santa Clara, Utah. Martha was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many different callings in the Church.
