Martha Belle Morse
NORWAY – Martha Belle Morse went to heaven with family by her side on Feb. 9, 2022, at Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway, Maine.
Martha was born on Feb. 5, 1942, at her grandparent’s home in Fryeburg Harbor to Irving “Dike” Morse and H. Louise Wales.
Martha worked hard to provide for her family and dedicated many years to Good Neighbors Inc. before she retired. She was a self-taught accountant and earned her degree in Tourism and Travel.
Martha loved being a part of family get-togethers, casino trips, going to restaurants and making quilts. She enjoyed going to lunch with her classmates from Norway High School (class of 1960). Sewing was such a huge love for her that every family member has received something hand made by her. Martha loved to travel and Hawaii was one of her most favorite places to visit.
Martha is survived by her four children, Bobby Toothaker (Deborah) of Lynnville, Tenn.; Brian Toothaker (Beth) of No. Waterford; Holly Weymouth of No. Waterford and Dawn Mutebi of Reston, Va.
She is also survived by her sister, Ellen Bernier (Lou) of No. Waterford, her cousin, Kay Cossette (Tom) of Fryeburg, along with 17 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her parents, brothers Kenneth and Hollis and grandson, Jared Toothaker.
Graveside services will be held in the spring.
