Raymond M. Martin, 88, of Lititz, passed away at Lancaster General Hospital on Monday, February 6, 2023. Born in Chester County, he was the son of the late Weaver and Frances Martin. He was the loving husband of Alice (Good) Martin, with whom he shared 66 happy years of marriage.

In addition to his wife, Raymond is survived by his sons Gerald Martin (wife, Jeanette), Philip Martin (wife, Luann), and Randy Martin (wife, Vicki); as well as 13 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by 6 siblings and one grandson. Raymond loved each one.

Raymond lived with passionate care and service to all he knew. He was dedicated to following Jesus and a sustainer of the church. He touched lives in New Holland, Cleveland, Homestead, Sarasota, Newport News, Ephrata, Lititz, and many places between. He was a farmer, chicken processor, Mennonite Voluntary Service leader, pastor, lawn care worker, conference minister, and bus driver. Memory loss became an increasing burden over the past three years. He was aware of this loss and the fact that it would not change and began to look forward to the life after death. We are sad and happy all at the same time.
