Martha was born on September 4, 1936, in Paragould, Arkansas to Donald and Ruby (Williams) Branam.

Until her vision faded, she loved watching Dancing with the Stars, Cardinal baseball, and playing the piano. In her younger days she loved roller skating.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her children, Andy Rylant and Jackie Quattlebaum; a brother, Bill Branom; and a grandchild, Zachary Rylant, as well as her beloved dog, Simon.
Martha is survived by her children, Bill Rylant (Annette), Susan Boling (Derek); grandchildren, Drew Rylant, Chandra Bryant (Nick), Leann Berry (Scott), Blake Rylant, Stan Mitchell Jr., Peyton Reddick (Luke); great grandchildren, Landen Bryant, Adalyn Bryant, Drew Berry, Casen Berry, and Braxton Berry.
