Born on May 26, 1946, in Gloversville, Marti was adopted at a young age by Mr. and Mrs. Waring. She graduated from Gloversville High School and later returned to school to become a registered nurse.

She is survived by her husband Danny; her children Jennifer, Daniel, Brandon, and Angela; and many extended family members and friends. She is also remembered with gratitude by longtime family friends Tabitha, Sara, and Jim, along with Samantha and Marti Lynn, who cared for her with love and compassion during her final months.
