Martha Elaine Mudd passed away on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2019, in Fort Wayne, at Lutheran Hospital. She was 64 years old.
Born on Nov. 11, 1954, in Whitley County, Marti, as most knew her, was the daughter of Ralph G. and Marjorie G. Snyder Kaiser. She was a 1974 graduate of Warsaw Community High School.
On April 26, 1975, Marti was united in marriage to Ron Mudd. The two would share nearly 45 years together before her Thursday afternoon passing.
Simply put, Marti was a caregiver. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and a dedicated provider of in-home care for more than 20 years. That giving, selfless nature was appropriate for Marti, who fiercely loved the Lord and whose favorite book was the Bible. She was a member of Branches Vineyard Church in Warsaw. Truly dedicated to family, she loved time spent with her family, loved road trips and liked to travel. She was also a gifted piano player and was mostly self-taught; she played in the church and at several area nursing facilities.
A short list of those who survive with memories to cherish include her husband, Ron Mudd, of Warsaw; six children: Shaun (Eva) Mudd, of Mentone; Ethan Mudd, of Warsaw; Jeremy (Megan) Mudd, of Warsaw; Tiffany Peterson, of Warsaw; Tyler Mudd, of Fort Wayne; and Christa (Jeff) Harman, of Warsaw; and seven grandchildren: Jocelyn, Charles, James, Grady, Noah, Kiira and Lena. Also surviving are three sisters, Marcia (Jack) Farrell, Marilyn (Eric) Oest, and Gloria (Chuck) Forbus. She was preceded in death by her parents; and two daughters, Leah Mudd and Natalie Mudd.
A life celebration has been planned with Titus Funeral Home. Visitation will be on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Warsaw Church of God, 1059 Rozella Road, Warsaw. On Wednesday, at 11 o’clock, Pastor Tom Diecks will officiate Marti’s funeral service, with burial following in Oakwood Cemetery.
