She graduated from Whitehaven High School in 1944. Afterwards she attended Pharmacy School and the University of Tennessee for a few semesters.
She was married to her devoted husband, Thomas Francis Lynch, for 68 years. They had three children, Martha Dee White (Keith), Dana Lynch Poisal (Sam), and Tom Lynch (Terie).
She is blessed with five grandchildren, Alan White (Claire), Kyle Lynch (Megan), Kevin Lynch (Whitney), Andrew Poisal, and Dana Marina Poisal.

Martha attended St. John's Episcopal Church in Memphis, where she worked as Hostess in charge of luncheons and celebrations in the 1960s.
She was a fabulous homemaker, talented seamstress, extraordinary craftsperson, and gardener. She was exceptionally creative with quilts and quilted potholders. She loved making items and giving them as gifts or selling them at church fundraisers.
