Carole Smith Martin died on May 7th while holding the hands of the love of her life, Ernie “Marty” Martin, and her youngest daughter, Kristi Martin. 

The joy of “The Lady’s” life was her family: Marty, Kristi (Ben Tudor), and her eldest daughter, Amy Martin (Danny Kennedy). They enjoyed a lifetime’s worth of world travel together. 

Carole loved and was loved by many — her family, all her flight attendant crew from her 42 years with Northwest/Delta, as well as her friends, neighbors, and community. 

After retirement in 2020, Carole spent her days with her grandchildren, Opal and Lily Martin-Tudor, and volunteering at VEAP.

She will be missed immensely.
