Martha J. Knapp-Graham

May 11, 1953 — July 8, 2024

Martha came into this world at St. Joseph’s Hospital. The daughter of Cordelia and Grady Knapp. She was the youngest of her family with two older brothers, James and Everett. 

From a young age, Music became a very important part of her life. She often spoke highly of her favorite piano teacher Maxine. Martha continued her studies in California and at Metropolitan State, receiving a BA in Music Education. It was at Metro where she met her husband Ron who sat a few seats behind her.

Together they played many Sunday Services in Brighton and Georgetown where they had a little home, they called Jenny. Martha continued her musical services, at Queen of Peace. Being very active with many choirs and special services, at times you would find her more at the church than at home. When she was not at church, she had a full list of Private Music students who brought her great joy as they progressed. 

Martha and Ron loved to travel and have visited all continents except Antarctica and Africa. When Alex came along both Martha and Alex were very involved in Tae Kwan Do & Ken Po; and she took part in his school activities as her busy schedule would allow. Other hobbies included Kayaking, Camping, Soap making, and Wine making.

Martha leaves behind her husband Ron, son Alex, brothers Everett and James as well as her fur babies Charlie, Buddy, Rosie, Jasper, and Bailey her bird. 

In lieu of flowers, a Memorial Fund has been established in Martha’s name for the continued maintenance, tuning, and repair of all the musical instruments at Queen of Peace. All musicians need good working instruments, so that they can continue to share God’s gift of music.
