Martha "Marty" J. Stithem (Richard), 87, passed away at her home in Brighton, CO. on December 13, 2015. Born on March 23, 1928 in Ft. Morgan, CO. to Pete and Anna Richard, she was one of 7 children.

As a child she spent her early years with her parents in Yoder, WY and Minatare, NE then moved back to Fort Morgan, CO. as a young woman and started a family with her then husband Art Perizzolo. In 1965, the family moved to Denver and later she would reside there independently for many years and most recent in Brighton, CO.

She is survived by her children, Kay Perizzolo (Bob Weimer), Carol Johnson (Leon), Toni Williams (Buddy), Pamela Randall (Lawrence) and Barry Perizzolo, preceded in death by her daughters Shoron Foster and Janice Perizzolo.

Marty was a Wife, Mother of 7, Grandma of 14, Great- Grandma of 16, a Great -Great Grandma of 2 and a friend to many. She endured many hardships throughout her life but had many joyous blessed times as well. For over 20 years she was a hard -working, well- loved waitress who would always speak her mind. She liked to dance and listen to country/western music and was known for her great cooking and baking skills. It was always an honor to receive and enjoy one of her tasty goodies. Marty loved animals and enjoyed the companionship of her many dogs she had through the years, from Collies to CockaPoos, they were family members to her. Keeping up with her TV soap operas was a favorite and in later years she expanded her collection of dolls and angel figurines. As always she continued to grow her relationship with Jesus as she prayed and talked with Him daily. She has now joined Him for a peaceful, healthy, glorious eternity.

Marty was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, infant daughter Shoron and daughter Janice.

At her request, no Services will be held but your thoughts, prayers and blessings are appreciated. She chose to have her cremated remains rest with her father at his burial site in Fort Morgan, CO.
