Martha was born on March 8, 1941 in Seagraves, TX to the late Bruce and Evaleen Williams Wells. She married Alan Harrison on August 22, 1975. Martha waited tables for many years and was an Avon Lady for the last 33 years. She faithfully sold Avon until all of her customers moved away or passed on. When the last customer passed away, Martha retired. She loved cooking for her family and her favorites were fried potatoes and biscuits. Martha’s smile was the biggest when her grandchildren came over to her house. She loved rose bushes and she was of the Baptist faith. Martha will be greatly missed.

Preceding her in death were her parents; and four siblings, Mildred, Eddie, Jimmy and Linda.

Survivors include her husband of 41 years, Alan Harrison of Abilene; sons, Lionel McDowell and Michael McDowell of Abilene, and Scooter Dearing of Montana; two daughters, Martha Schwartz of Abilene and Melissa Harrison of Breckenridge; a sister, Joyce Wells; 12 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and by the LaQuinta family and friends.
