Martha A. Street, 95, passed away February 14, 2019, at Bishop Drumm Care Center in Johnston, Iowa. She was born in Clutier, Iowa on July 29, 1923, to parents Agnes and Joseph Husak.

Martha played 6-on-6 basketball in high school. She met Dick Street at the Sunnyside Café in Gladbrook, IA and they were married June 4, 1946. Together they operated City Motors (Packard/Kaiser/Frasier dealership) prior to moving to Winterset, IA (Skullyville, IA) in 1955.

Martha enjoyed sewing, gardening, crafting, and quilting with the Heritage Quilters and her friends Fons and Porter. She was a member of the Honey Bee Quilters, Town and Country Club, and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Rosary. Martha was the “best” pie maker and donated many to church.

Martha was one of the first people to have a booth at the Covered Bridge Festival in 1969 which consisted of an assortment of jellies and jams on a card table. She later enjoyed helping her son Larry make fry bread tacos.

She is survived by her children, Larry, Dale (Jan), Jim (Peggy), and Mary Jo; grandchildren, Lonny (Verna), Richard (Lonna), Steve, Bret (Kristen), Brad (Marsha), and Ann; as well as 15 great-grandchildren.
