___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our PCN Flight West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

~ IN MEMORY ~
Martha 'Marty' Rose 
January 14, 1935 - August 5, 2014

A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated in Santa Cruz for longtime Santa Cruz County resident Martha Rose, who passed away peacefully at her Scotts Valley home. Born in San Francisco, she was 79 years old. Marty, as she was affectionately known to her friends and loved ones, attended Sacred Heart Preparatory School in Menlo Park, and graduated from San Francisco College for Women earning her Degree in teaching. Her family will forever cherish the stories of Marty as a young woman living in San Francisco. She was gifted with a vibrant and outgoing personality, and while attending college, worked as a fashion model. Marty moved to the Santa Cruz area 40 years ago, residing for 24 years in Pasatiempo, and for the last 16 years in Scotts Valley. She was an avid golfer and skilled tennis player while a resident of Pasatiempo. She leaves a host of loving friends and extended family in the teaching community and many organizations that she volunteered her time with.
Marty taught elementary school with San Jose Unified Schools; later with Santa Cruz Unified Schools and as the 4th grade teacher at Holy Cross School in Santa Cruz with a career spanning over 25 years. She volunteered for many nonprofit organizations including Holidaisy, and Dragon Slayers, an organization that offers free animal therapy to the disabled community.
Marty was a talented artist working with both oils and water colors, creating beautiful nature settings. She had a green thumb for all types of flowers and produce which she enjoyed sharing with her family and neighbors. She attended Holy Cross Church and San Agustin Catholic Church in Scotts Valley. The devotion she had to her family, most recently in following all of her grandson's baseball, football and basketball games, regardless of the travel time and location, was another example of her love.
She leaves her beloved daughter and precious grandson, Christine Jensen and Ryan Austin Jensen of Salinas, her brother, Charles Wilson of Clovis, CA; and her cousins, Nancy Martin and Lloyd Free.
The mass will be held at Holy Cross Church (126 High Street in Santa Cruz) on Saturday, August 23, 2014 beginning at 11:00AM. If you would like to share your thoughts and prayers with her family please visit www.pacificgardenschapel.com
