CHUCKY, Tenn. —
Martha Louise Footo Shrader, 93, formerly of Lebanon, Virginia, passed away on Friday, November 9, 2012, at Durham-Hensley Health and Rehab Nursing Home in Chucky, Tennessee, from complications of a stroke she suffered seven years ago. Martha also lived at the Hummingbird Retirement Villa in Lebanon, Virginia, for several years where she also received praiseworthy care.

Martha was the Postmaster at the Post Office in Switchback, and later retired from Russell Manufacturing in Lebanon.
Love of God and family were the most important things to Martha. She and her husband, Wallace Henry Shrader were active members of Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Lebanon, where they helped with the books and upkeep of the church for more than forty years. Martha was an avid bird watcher and excellent cook. Her family always looked forward to the meals shared and time spent at their home. Though Martha and Wallace lived in Lebanon for more than forty years, Martha always held the mountains of West Virginia close to her heart.
In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her loving husband of over sixty years, Wallace; two sons, Michael David and Mark Anthony; two grandsons, Paul David Canoy and Daniel Phillip Canoy; and siblings, Helen Bowling, Agnes Footo, Thomas Footo, Matthew Footo, Eulalia Footo and Marie Boone.
