Martha married Floyd J. Hohman on January 31, 1959, at St. Wendelin Catholic Church in Fostoria, Ohio by Fr. Robert Donnelley, later to be name Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Toledo. She was very supportive of Floyd’s ordination to the Permanent Diaconate of the Catholic Church in May 2000.

After raising their children, Martha worked at area nursing homes, retiring from the Wyandot County Nursing Home, Upper Sandusky, in 1999. Martha enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed crocheting, knitting, tatting, and sewing, especially quilting.
