Obituary of Terra Marie Martin

+óGé¼+ôTo laugh often and much: To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived; This is to have succeeded.+óGé¼-¥ +óGé¼GÇ£ Ralph Waldo Emerson +é-á+é-á+é-á During the waning hours of Saturday, April 23rd, 2016, Terra Vickers Martin was struck and killed by an automobile leaving those of us who knew her wondering why. +é-á+é-á+é-á Terra came from her hometown of Mount Clemens, Michigan. She settled in Palm Bay and attended Jr high and high school in Melbourne, Florida. She moved to the Central Florida area and begin touching the lives of everyone she met. She began working at Sea World and Walt Disney World in 1998 and began accumulating a large theme park family that fell in love with her quick wit and kind hearted spirit. +é-á+é-á+é-á It was during her 10-year high school reunion that Terra would bump into an old classmate, Charles Martin. In March of 2006 the two would wed and begin to set out creating their family. And in August of 2007 they welcomed little Logan Addison into their lives. +é-á+é-á+é-á In 2009 Terra left Sea World in order to spend more time with Logan and to focus on those things that made her smile. Helping others was her true calling; and she knew it. She volunteered much of her free time to organizations such as The United Way, The ASPCA, The Girl Scouts of America and often did walks for causes such as the Susan G Komen Walk For A Cure. +é-áIn 2011 she put her seamstress skills to the test in creating and opening Logan+óGé¼Gäós Tailored Closet; a small independent venture to make and sell handmade clothing items to help bring money into the family as well as create smiles on the faces of their recipients. She would volunteer her time lending a hand at Logan+óGé¼Gäós school, Endeavor Elementary. When Logan began attending St Cloud Preparatory Academy, Terra volunteered her time at SCPA and quickly became the Student Advisory Council President all the while continuing to be a supporter of Endeavor. +é-á In her time of passing she leaves behind her husband, Charles Martin, daughter, Logan Addison Martin, mother, Terri Joseph, father, Craig Vickers, sister, Kelly Lafferty, Stepfather, Larry Joseph, stepbrother, Scott Joseph, stepsister, Shannon Sebastian, nieces and nephews Xavier, Xander, Taylor, Trevor, Morgan, Steven, and Dominic, father-in-law, William Martin, mother-in-law, Zona Martin, brother-in-law, Marty Martin and a host of extended family members.
