Willie Martin Scott, age 93, took her final journey home to join her heavenly family, Saturday, April 22, 2017. Waiting to welcome her was her husband of 44 years, Thurman (Junior) Scott; daughter Carol Carter; Grandson Craig Handy; Parents Cam and Daisy Martin; brothers, Buford, Hoover, and Cam Jr. Martin; sisters, Clyde Thompson, Nola Fulcher, Lola Martin; and Lena Scott.

Willie was a devoted Mom to “my twin daughters” Linda Handy (Ken) & Glenda Thompson (Bobby); an awesome Nannie to grandchildren Willie Valianos-Denny (Jyrone); Dennis Valianos; Johanna Ferguson, (Anthony); Christina Gibson (Josh); & Ruth Tapscott (Tucker); a loving great-grandmother to Rachel and Mackenzie Hall; Alexandra Valianos; Eve and Braden Ferguson; Lera, Miles, & Silas Gibson; Riley and Stella Tapscott.

Willie’s sister, MaryLou Robertson of Roanoke, and brother, Bruce Martin of Bristol, are left to continue the legacy of the Martin family.

“Ms Willie” will be remembered for her sweet smile; as a faithful member of Maple Grove Church; being a homemaker to her family; her talents as a master quilter and extraordinary seamstress and most of all for her famous pound cake which she shared with everyone.
