Martha (Marty) R.
Born in Buffalo, NY, she was the daughter of the late Marvin and Esther (Penner) Rau.
Marty was a Professor of Fashion Design and Consumer Textiles at Framingham State College for 24 years prior to her retirement.
She was also a member of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Mendon and Uxbridge, the Joseph Emerson Alliance, the Friends of Mendon Elders, and the Friends of Milford Elders, all of which gave her a wonderful network of loved ones.
Throughout her life, she traveled extensively with family and friends, creating a lifetime of memories she looked back on fondly. An avid reader, she loved to sit with a good book, a cat snoozed on her lap, and the sounds of birds fluttering outside. Her peaceful, caring nature was immediately noticed by anyone who met her, and she will be missed more than words can convey.
In addition to her husband of 50 years, she is survived by one son, Eric S. Fletcher of Sunnyside, NY, one brother, Russell Rau and his wife, Linda, of Eustace, TX, as well as her two cats, Socks and Mitsy.
She was predeceased by her daughter, Emily Jean Fletcher.
