Obituary for Martha Jane Raynor (Mullin)
Martha Jane Mullin Raynor, 68, of Street, MD, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 5, 2023 after a long battle with cancer.
Martha was born on February 15, 1954 to John William Mullin and Betty Elizabeth Woodward Mullin in Tulsa, OK. She was raised in Edgewood, Md and in 1972 was crowned Miss Harford County. The same year she married her high school sweetheart, Michael Steven Raynor and together they raised two loving children, April and Deron Raynor. She was a 1973 graduate of Edgewood High School. From 1975 until the early 1990’s she worked alongside her mother at Brevin’s Nursing Home in Havre de Grace, Maryland where she provided exceptional care for the residents and lifted their spirits with her good cheer and genuine warmth.
Martha was a loving and devoted Mother and “Nana” to all. Her unforgettable laugh lit up a room and she delighted in all things Christmas.
