It is with love and very warm feelings that I remember my dear little cousin. I'm 4 years older and I remember wishing she could be my sister. I remember carrying her around. When we were quite young and I lived on Ave. B. Martha and her family would come for holiday visits. What fun cousins had running around the neighborhood, down the alley and through Lansford's yard. We kids would sit in the car and pretend we were driving somewhere. I remember when she had appendicitis and before the diagnosis every one was very worried because no one could figure out what made her so sick every afternoon. How luck I was to get to be a part of her life. Dolores Chambers Westfield
Martha was my sister-in-law, and best friend until her death in 1975. She had a son, Danny Kirby, who has recently moved back to BC after leaving the year of her death. He is now back in my life, which I am grateful for. Martha was one of a kind. When she entered a room, it was like a spotlight went right to her. Always ready for mischief with her friends Suzanne Risley, Carol Shay, Jane Uehling, Nadeen Sanchez, and others I probably didn't know about!! I'm still hearing stories about their escapades, mostly from Jane Uehling!!! Anyway, a wonderful buddy, but a life too short.
Martha Rose McCollum (Kirby-Lee), died 4 Aug 1975 in Las Vegas. She was born on 28 Sep 1944 in Azusa, CA. Martha is buried in the Boulder City Cemetery.

Totally awesome and beautiful girl! The love of my life, and it lasted many, many years. Still in my heart and will be forever.

Martha was a very special friend. She had so much to give in life and I miss her. My daughter went to Flagstaff to school because of her.

Martha was always nice bright and positive. Before we had licenses we use to walk home together.
1 Summer my family went to Parker Az and Martha came up to visit her aunt so I saw her for about a week.
I see she departed in 1975 which was shortly after our 1972 Reunion. I have photos that Nadine Sanchez took if anyone would like the posted.
