Frances Martin of Churchton, MD passed away peacefully at Anne Arundel Medical Center on March, 30th 2021. Frances was born December 31, 1944 to Carr C. Barger and Emily (Zickefoose) Barger, and was raised on their farm in Upper Marlboro, MD. Frances graduated from Frederick Sasscer High School in Upper Marlboro, MD and began her Federal Civilian career as an FBI clerk typist. Mrs. Martin retired from Federal service in 2003 while working at NIH. She also worked briefly for the State of Maryland, retiring to take care of her late husband John Martin.
Her life was a living example of Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 – “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ”.
Frances was preceded in death by her parents, her husband John, and siblings Blair and Boyden Barger, Mary Wingfield, and Edith Cummins. She is survived by her daughter Dianna Weeks and husband Jeff of Summerville, SC, a sister Carolyn Parker of Drayden, MD, grandchildren Amber Weishorn, Holly Ayers, Ava Lewis, David Lewis, and Harley Sixberry, great-grandchildren Shawn, Tana, Logan, Cooper, Bo, and Ryliegh, and step-children Lise Javage, Karen Brewton, and John Brewton.

To the family, I’m so sorry for your loss. My son and I would walk every day and that’s how we met Frances and the dog at the time was Popcorn. Of course he got treats from us. Frances would comment on my pics I posted every day. Then she introduced us to Tator after popcorn passed. Will miss seeing your post every day. RIP Frances

Your Friend,
