Martha Jane Green Jorgensen Obituary (1916 - 2016)

Martha Jane Green Jorgensen passed away peacefully at home from causes incident to age March 13, 2016, just three days after her 100th birthday. She was born March 10, 1916 in Menan, Idaho to Gilbert Marchant Green and Eva Ballantyne Green, the seventh of ten children. She married Nephi Moroni Jorgensen in the Logan LDS Temple on May 29, 1935. He preceded her in death on January 11, 1988. In 1947, Martha and Nephi settled in Greenville, NC, where they raised their seven children. They were actively involved in establishing the Church in that area. Martha loved serving and did so in many capacities. In 1993, she moved to Utah where she continued to influence those around her with her service, unconditional love, and great sense of humor. Her family, her beloved country, and her testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ were her greatest treasures. Martha is survived by six children: Lynn, Layne (Michelle), Mark (Karen), Janis Dunyon Gerhart (Phil), Karen Fox (David), Eva Kendrick, and daughter-in-law Ella Gray Jorgensen; and 100 direct descendants. She was preceded in death by her son Larry, granddaughter Megan Dunyon, daughter-in-law Nancy Jorgensen, and son-in-law Jerry Dunyon. Her family would like to express their appreciation to the staff at Legacy House of South Jordan and Alpha Hospice for their loving and professional care.
