Martha Munk, 88, of Mars, Pennsylvania, formerly of Ambridge, passed away peacefully on December 15th, 2025, at St. John’s Specialty Care in Mars, Pennsylvania. She was born in Sewickley on July 1st, 1937, a daughter of the late Joseph and Mildred (Kerzan). In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Loretta (Ronald) Kopriva.

Martha had a way of lighting up a room the moment she entered, with her beautiful eyes, impeccable style, and a playful, knowing grin. It took only moments for strangers to realize what those closest to her always knew: Martha was a warm, loving soul who would do anything for anyone. She had a true flair for fashion, always perfectly put together and proud of her appearance. Whether dressed for a special occasion or an everyday outing, Martha carried herself with elegance, confidence, and timeless style, a reflection of the care and joy she brought to every part of her life. Martha and her beloved husband, Edward, shared a deep love of travel, especially trips to the beach. They often dreamed of visiting Germany, where Edward had served in the Army. While that particular journey remained a dream, they were fortunate to travel to many wonderful destinations, creating lasting memories alongside their family. To say Martha loved her family would be an understatement. Her heart belonged to them completely until the very end. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she rarely missed one of their sporting events. Martha and Ed joyfully hosted legendary summer sleepover marathons for their five grandsons, spoiling them endlessly, including cherished annual trips to Cedar Point that became treasured family traditions. Martha was also a gifted cook and baker, best known for her cookies and pies. She had a special love for Christmas, delighting in decorating her home, baking for others, and pouring her heart into unforgettable holiday meals and Sunday family dinners.
