GREENWOOD – Carla Jane (Morgan) Martin, 53, of Greenwood, passed peacefully at her home in Greenwood on Wednesday, July 12, with her loving family by her side.

She was born on April 10, 1953, in Norway, to Edgar and Julia (Briggs) Morgan. She was educated in Woodstock and Greenwood schools, graduating from Telstar Regional High School in 1971.

She was employed with area wood mills, including Stowell Wood Products, until it closed in 1989, and Echo Wood products, until she was diagnosed with Ankylosis Spondylitis (arthritis of the spine) in 1990.
