Martha Bright

Martha Jane Bright was born to the late Samuel Haywood and Vera Young Mitchell on September 19, 1936. God called on an Angel to the Garden Of Life to pluck for him one of the finest flowers and called Martha Jane at the age of 84 to her Heavenly Home.

Martha Jane was married to the late Zacharius "Jack" Bright for 50+ years until his death. They had three biological sons together. She raised at least 16 other children that were a combination of her nieces, nephews, and more. Martha Jane loved to serve the Lord.
