She graduated from St. Wendelin High School in 1952 and Tiffin University in 1954. She worked as a secretary until she was married.

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.

Martha was preceded in death by her parents, a daughter-in-law Linda Hohman; sister, Anna Mae Kelbley, brother and sister-in-law Richard and Betty Kelbley; and nephews Larry Kelbley and Donald Decker.

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.
