Born on July 17, 1925, in Maryville, Tennessee, Martha was the cherished daughter of the late Howard and Mary Fuller. From the foothills of her hometown, she carried with her the values of humility, faith, and family - principles that shaped her life and left a lasting mark on all who knew her.
Martha was a longtime and faithful member of Friendship Baptist Church. Her presence in the sanctuary and among her church family was steady and sincere. She not only loved her Lord but showed it through service, kindness, and the tender way she cared for others.
Simple joys brought her the greatest delight, jigsaw puzzles that challenged her sharp mind, sweet chocolate candies that she rarely kept to herself, and time spent surrounded by those she loved. Her favorite colors, purple and pink, reflected her soft but vibrant spirit.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Mr. Milford Stratton, whose memory she held dear throughout her life.
Martha leaves behind a family who adored her and carries forward the values she lived by. Her surviving children are: Jimmy Boring, Bobby Boring, and Rebecca Parrish.
She is fondly remembered by her grandchildren: Joyce Hyde, Nicky McAllister, Jeremy Hyde, James W. McAllister, Natalie Caldwell, Allen "Bubba" Miles, and Katelyn Ellison.
Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren: Bella Hilton (Doyle), Addison McAllister, Aaron Woods, McKinsey Givens, James McAllister, Zachary McAllister, Charlotte Woods, Annaleigha Vanwey, Maylee Hyde, Brandon Lane, Shane Hyde, Clayton Lane, Chase Hyde, and Colton Hyde. She is also lovingly remembered by her daughter-in-law, Darlene Caldwell.
Though her earthly journey has ended, her spirit remains ever present in the lives she touched, the prayers she whispered, and the memories now cherished.
Graveside services for Ms. Martha Mae Stratton will be held at 10:00 AM, Saturday, June 28, 2025, at the Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery, 4025 Friendship Church Rd, Statesboro, GA 30458.
