For Williana Marie Martin
SOUTH BEND - Williana Marie Martin, 61, was born on September 10, 1946, in South Bend, Indiana, to Almeda and Willie Maefield. Williana was the oldest of five children. Her siblings were Calvin Maefield, South Bend, Willie Maefield III, St. Paul, Minnesota, Melvin Mayfield and Dottyann Maefield of South Bend, Indiana.
Williana received her formal education through the South Bend Community School Corporation, where she met her first and true love, James Curtis Martin Sr. Williana and James married on June 12, 1965. They were married for 43 years. From this union they have two daughters, Marcia Lynette Martin and Crystal Deanne Martin, South Bend; and one son, James Curtis Martin Jr. of San Bernardino, California.

Williana's gifts were a servant's heart and helping hands. Her life objective was to serve God with all her heart and soul. Her secondary objective was to enhance the lives of her family and serve the church and community, especially the youth; she loved her family and friends dearly.
