a.m., Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011, at her home following an extended illness.
Martha was born Dec. 31, 1925, in Plymouth. She was the only child of Otto K. and Edith
(Cummins) Duddleson. Martha grew up in the Plymouth and Warsaw areas. She was a graduate
of Plymouth High School. Martha’s first marriage, to Bernie Eads, blessed them with their only
child, Darcy. On Dec. 30, 1974, Martha married
Paul E. Meyers. He preceded her in death April
16, 2002. They resided at Lawrence Lake, in Plymouth, for several years before moving to
Mission, Texas in 1989.
Martha and Paul were avid snowbirds traveling all over the United States in their motor home.
While living in Texas, Martha taught ceramics and oil painting. She loved to embroider and sew.
After her illness, she moved to Warsaw, where she remained until her death.
Martha was the Children’s Librarian at the Plymouth Public Library for many years. She had just
celebrated her 85th birthday, with her family, and was able to meet her newest great-grandchild
Dexter, born Dec. 27, 2010. Martha loved to dance to the big band era songs from the ‘40s. She
loved her family, friends, and music. We’d like to think she is now dancing with the angels in
Heaven!
