A talented pianist, Marty would find the opportunity to spread love, compassion, thoughtfulness, and excitement through music during the entirety of her life. Her desire to capture moments in painting led her to create lovely canvases cherished by her family and admired by her friends. Marty's enthusiasm for experiencing all life had to offer led her to frequently travel abroad and her love for all things Creole was well known to family and friends.On October 4, 1992 Marty married Greg Banner, a marriage that provided the foundation for 28 years of wonderful memories surrounded by family and friends. Both Greg and Marty's selflessness and boundless love for one another guided their family as it continued to grow much like the lush and verdant garden Marty so favored.Even in her later years Marty continued to contribute to the community.
