We shall miss our visits with Katie at Martin Marine - (and the red licorice she always had on hand for customers and visitors).

Katie Loved The Lakes In Tempe

Katie has been described by those close to her as "a free spirit who lived life on her own terms." We all knew her as a straightforward, sincere woman and friend. She loved boating, skiing, camping, cooking, traveling (Disneyland was among her favorites), and she will also be remembered for her Super Bowl parties and her fantastic Sangria.

Her life was full with Ken, the husband she loved dearly, and with living on the waterfront in the beautiful Lakes in Tempe. There, at The Lakes clubhouse, a memorial was held for her on Sept. 27 and a tree planted in her memory.

Donations may be made to Hospice of the Valley in memory of Katie Martin

To Ken, her family and many friends, we at Arizona Boating & Watersports/Western Outdoor Times express our sincere condolences. We shall remember Katie - with a smile.
