Mrs. Martha Lynch Moultrie, 102, of Newnan, passed away Thursday August 7, 2014, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Martha Ann and Murray Parks. She was born March 27, 1912 in Meriwether County to the late George Lynch and Marilou Collins Lynch. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband John Moultrie and her two sisters, Maidee Miller and Virginia Franklin. Martha was an avid gardener and a wonderful cook. Many people in Meriwether County and Coweta County have been the recipients of her many cakes and beautiful flowers. She will always be remembered for her beautiful iris which she shared with friends and strangers who passed by her home on Roscoe Road. Martha was a lifetime member of the Georgia Garden Club and could still give you the name of flowers well into her 100’s. She loved her church, First United Methodist Church in Newnan and enjoyed singing with the Swinging Singing Seniors for many years up until her beloved husband John became disabled and she devoted her time to his care. She devoted herself to caring for others and did it willingly and with great love and grace. She kept her great grandson Robert Estes in her home when he was a baby several days a week and all of her children, grand-children and great grand-children were blessed by her many wonderful meals and her strength and grace. Her favorite saying that she preached to all her children was, “Yesterday belongs to history, today belongs to you, tomorrow belongs to God.” Survivors include children, Eddie and Mary Elizabeth Moultrie, Robert and Cheryl Moultrie, Nancy and Pete Flaherty and Martha Ann and Murray Parks; grand-children; Katie and Nigel Foo, Sarah Moultrie, Robert and Kelly Moultrie, Billy and Cindy Moultrie, John and Stephanie Smith, Jim and Francis Smith, Colby and Tiffany Smith and Rob and Christi Estes; and 18 great-grand-children as well as her cherished caregivers Carolyn Wright and Chesketa Parks.
