Obituary

Saratoga Springs, NY - Martha Grace Armstrong passed away Thursday, April 4, 2013 at Wesley Health Care Center where she had resided since 2006. Born on Sept. 27, 1920 in Saratoga Springs, she was a lifelong area resident and daughter of the late Joseph C. and Ona B. Armstrong. She lived in her childhood home on the east side of town for many years and later moved "downstreet" to an apartment on Broadway. She then moved to Stonequist Apartments. During World War II she was employed at General Electric Co. in Schenectady along with her sister Blanche. They remained closest of friends until Blanche's death in 2007. Martha enjoyed the ambiance of Saratoga Springs and was often seen sitting in the sunshine on a Broadway bench. She was also a frequent visitor to Congress Park where she would feed the birds, ducks and squirrels. Martha enjoyed spending time with Blanche and her family as well as taking long car rides. In addition to her parents and her sister Blanche Attanasio, she was predeceased by her sister, Ina Ramos and her brothers, Joseph (Abe), John, Paul and Arthur Armstrong. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Wesley for taking such good care of Martha for the past seven years.
