Another abiding interest was the Roswell Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Guild. Her other interests were the Rio Pecos Kennel Club and her Welsh Corgi dogs, the Civil Air Patrol, where she was a cadet leader and flying with Richard in their Cessna 172. In 2009, Martha and family became members of St. Stevens Anglican Church, where Martha continued her ministry service as Deacon.
