• Documents » Slide Show		Obituary- Dunn, Martha 1 Martha Shirlene Barker Dunn, 85, passed away on February 3rd, 2022 at home surrounded by family and friends. She likely danced her way right into Heaven's pearly gates, with a child-like smile stretching from ear to ear, knowing she would finally meet Jesus. If you met her, she probably told you, "If I don't see you again down here, I'll meet you in the air!" Martha was born on July 9th, 1936 to the late Ralph and Ruth Barker. She was born in a small house in Harper, KS and was number seven out of nine children. Martha went to school in Harper and lived at home before getting married to the late Darwin Manjeot on February 28, 1955. They were married for 30 years and had four children before Darwin went to be with Jesus in 1985. Darwin and Martha were adventurers and they loved to travel and camp. They were fond of Wyoming and enjoyed five years there before moving back to Kansas. In May of 1972, Martha was born again and gave her whole life to Jesus. Early on she volunteered at church with the bus ministry, Royal Rangers, and with Daisy's.Martha prayed for so many loved ones and friends every day. Her morning routine included reading her devotional and Bible, and praying over
  		Obituary- Dunn, Martha 2 each person on her prayer list. If she told you she was praying for you, that was never a joke and she lifted you up to the Father every morning. When praying, she also loved to ask the Father when Jesus was coming. She was never afraid to share with anyone, including strangers, the love of Jesus and the importance of accepting Him into your heart. If you don't already know Jesus, she would want you to talk to her kids or grandkids. They will be happy to share the love of Jesus with you so you can "Meet her in the air." n 2002, Martha married Melvin Dunn and they lived in Rossville, KS and most recently almost ten years in Jefferson County. Melvin and Martha celebrated their 20th anniversary on January 29th, 2022. Together they served the Lord and enjoyed spending their free time with family and friends. They attended Jefferson Assembly of God in Meriden for many years and the last couple years Seaman Community Church in Topeka. Before Covid, Melvin & Martha's ministry included visiting several area nursing homes for many years. Together they prayed over the residents, shared the love of Jesus, and prayed the salvation prayer with them. Martha was a ray of sunshine and her joy was evident every single day. In addition to loving Jesus and her family, Martha loved animals, swimming, and dessert. Feeding the birds, watching the squirrels play, and loving on all of the doggies were frequent daily activities. If the sun was out and a swimming pool was open, you could find Martha enjoying a swim until her fingers and toes looked like raisins. After every meal, Martha always saved room for dessert. In fact, the last thing she asked for was peaches and ice cream and she enjoyed every bite. Martha leaves to cherish her loving memory her husband, Melvin, her children; Shirlene Zelenski, Becky (Matt) Moore, and Debbie (Rodney) Bower; 8 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, her sister Glenda and brother Ronnie, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by her son, Dale, her late husband, Darwin, her parents and 6 siblings.
