Sparkie was a 1947 graduate of Mooresville High School and a long time member of the Shelbyville Road Church of Christ. Martha was nicknamed "Sparkie" because of her "redhead" temper.

Sparkie loved to travel when she was able and always shared such fond memories of trips taken with her daughter, Sandy, granddaughters, niece Cathy and great nephew, Jeremy.
