Martha (Joey) Pope died Friday, Feb. 2, 2007, at Wilson Hospital.
She was born July 3, 1927, in Bridgeport, Conn.
She was a valiant survivor of many illnesses for several years, yet consistent in her faith and hope. She often recovered ready to continue her journey.
She participated in several area churches and was active in quilting groups, where she met many lasting friends. She was known for her quick smile and warm-heartedness. She was five months short of her 80th birthday and seven months short of her 60th wedding anniversary.
Joey is survived by her husband, Robert H. Pope; and three daughters, Cynthia Liu, (Mountain View, Calif.), Robin Pope, (Florida) and Jennifer McCarthy, (Cornwall). She had six grandchildren, Amy, Meredith, Sean, Michael, Heather and Richard; and one great-grandchild, Sierra.
