Jody was born on February 13, 1935 in to the late Wayne and Anna (Welton) Martin.

Jody graduated from Sandusky High School in 1953 and attended The Ohio State University. She was a part of the first graduating class of BGSU Firelands with a degree in teaching. She loved teaching kindergarten and 1st grade at Mills School in Sandusky prior to raising her boys. Jody was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church. An avid sports fan, she followed her beloved Buckeyes as well as the Cleveland sports teams, especially the Tribe. Her love of nature was only surpassed by her love of family. Often she was found tending to her flower beds and observing her bird feeders. Her compassion and sense of humor is what most will remember her for, causing outbursts of laughter from the nursing staff even when things were not looking favorable for herself.
