A. Elaine Martin, 83, of Landis Homes, formerly of Ephrata, passed away late Thursday night, October 19, 2023, at the WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital. Born in Ephrata, she was a daughter of the late Ezra M. & Edith S. (Witmer) Martin. Elaine worked for over 50 years as a live-in housekeeper for the Homsher family of Ephrata and Lebanon. She loved being part of the Homsher household and knew she was valued and appreciated. Elaine loved to bake, and her chocolate and black walnut cakes were almost as good as her mini pecan pies. She was crafty and enjoyed embroidery and cross stitch. Growing up in a big family, Elaine found great fun in the sibling banter; she loved her brothers and sisters. Somehow, she could remember everyone's birthday. Elaine liked jigsaw puzzles, flowers, and collecting dolls. She had a quiet, joyful presence with a streak of mischievous fun that was evident in her smiling eyes. Elaine is survived by six siblings, Clifford Martin (Joyce) of Gordonville, Joanne Greaser (Robert) of Strasburg, Gerald Martin (Carolyn) of Ephrata, Stephen Martin (Betty) of Ephrata, Gilbert Martin (Sandy) of Elizabethtown, Calvin Martin (Karalee) of Iowa; sister-in-law, Mary Martin of Phila.; 18 nieces & nephews. Elaine was predeceased by brother, Nelson Martin. Services will be held at Landis Homes, in the West Bethany Chapel, 1001 E Oregon Rd, Lititz on Wed., Oct. 25th. The Viewing will be from 12:30 to 1:00 p.m. and the Funeral Service will begin at 1:00 p.m. Interment will immediately follow in Indiantown Mennonite Cemetery, Ephrata.
