     Martha Jean "Marty" Book was buried at Washington Park East Cemetery, 10612 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, Marion Co., Indiana.6 She was born on September 19, 1932 at Indianapolis, Marion Co., Indiana.1,6,3 As of June 28, 1959,her married name was Powell.7 She married Elwood Lee Powell Jr. on June 28, 1959.7,1,4,8 Martha Jean "Marty" Book died on May 11, 2017 at Indianapolis, Marion Co., Indiana, at age 84.1,6 She Martha Jean Book Powell - Marty Powell, age 84, passed away peacefully on May 11th surrounded by her daughters at home in her beloved Irvington. She was born on September 19, 1932 to Charles Sheldon Book and Martha Jean Meek Book in the Arlington Court Apartments. Marty grew up in Irvington. She attended George W. Julian School #57 and graduated from Thomas Carr Howe High School. Marty entertained a multitude of childhood friends, and she was often the ring leader in orchestrating mischief...such as blowing a crater in School #57's playground upon igniting gunpowder. Marty went on to attend Butler University. She participated in Butler's gymnastic team and was a majorette for their marching band. She was active in her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, and again, maintained her leadership role in encouraging her friends "to always have fun". Following her course at Butler, Marty worked for C.W. Vize, an Irvington dentist/oral surgeon. A story frequently relayed during this stint of employment, told of her speeding up Arlington Avenue, late to work...a common occurrence...and running over the police motorcycle upon being pulled over. Marty met her husband, Elwood, on a blind date, and they were married in 1959. Poor Elwood never knew what to expect. Marty went on to embrace motherhood and was actively involved in the lives of her three daughters. She held a position of office, often President, of the PTA at School #57, Our Lady of Lourdes, Thomas Carr Howe High School, and Scecina Memorial High School. Marty was a founding member of the Irvington Community Council, as well as a variety of Irvington Clubs and organizations. She was actively involved in the Irvington Presbyterian Church and later, served as a Deacon. Marty was passionate when issues arose, and was often set to task, an example being the crusade of Irvington matrons that she led into an establishment of ill repute that had set up business across from one of the local schools in an attempt to close it down. As the story was told, a bit of a ruckus ensued, and ultimately they were successful in their endeavor. Marty was prone to unconventionality and often provided distraction with her "Martyisms". She was a frequent contributor to the IndyStar's "Let it Out" column, and for those who knew her well, her commentary was easily identifiable. Additionally, she had a tendency to label others with nicknames, especially those that created adversity in her life. Despite being actively involved in nearly every Irvington organization, Marty possessed a love for teaching children. She fulfilled this role as a substitute teacher for Schools #57, #77, #85, and Our Lady of Lourdes. Marty also went on to establish an in home child care business where she cared for a countless number of children throughout the years. There are a many stories that come to mind that capture the facets of Marty's personality and zest for life. Most of which have been discussed at her kitchen table, the table that has entertained and fed many, both young and old across the decades. Marty embraced the laughter and affection of children, adults, and animals. She would always feed a stray, perform cartwheels across the lawn, well into her 70's, and help a friend in need. Marty's presence here on earth will be greatly missed, however, a part of her will continue to live on in the many lives that she has touched throughout the years. Marty is survived by her three daughters and their spouses, Vicki Powell-Tippit (Tim Motsinger), Karen Gerald (Danny), and Kristin Loesch (Mark), seven grandchildren, and fifteen great grandchildren. She is also survived by her nieces Cheryl Blankenship and Michelle Jacobs, as well as her nephews Steven Blankenship, and Scott Jacobs. And last but not least, her beloved feline and steadfast companion, Dodi. on May 14, 2017.1
