Martine Dolores Waters
March 25, 2022
Martine Dolores Waters, age 40, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 25, 2022 at her home in Indianola.
Martine was born October 25, 1981 to Mike and Synda Waters in Des Moines, Iowa. She graduated from Lincoln High School in 2000. Martine worked for Nationwide for over thirteen years. She loved to try new things and had an amazing joy for life. Martine had recently taken up fishing, to the surprise of her family. She loved to watch meteor showers or just gaze at the stars in the sky. She was a devoted “dog mom” to her two boxers and they all enjoyed taking rides in her new jeep. Martine was an amazing person and friend who was highly talented and was consistently sought out for advice and overall support. We will miss her smile, laugh, and get it done attitude.
She is survived by her parents, Mike and Synda; siblings, Michelle (Mike), Michael Jr., Marshane (Dustin), and Autumn; her niece and nephew, Maddie and Drake; her beloved dogs, Beezee and Blitzy; and countless friends and many loving extended family.
Martine was preceded in death by her grandparents, aunts and uncles.
There will be a celebration of life from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines. Private family burial will take place at North River Cemetery, Greenfield Township.

My heart is heavy with sadness. This is a huge loss for your family and everyone that knew you! You will be missed so much!
Thankful for our friendship over the years. We had the best of times hanging out, roaming the halls of Lincoln, traveling to California, and singing at the TOP of our lungs to our favorite songs. I will always cherish the memories we shared and keep them close to my heart!
