  helping people dress for success by working for J. Edwards Clothes and the 
  Executive Suite For Her in the Camp Hill Mall. Martha was a faithful member of

  living there with her daughter Susanne. Martha was a servant of the Lord and 
  the spiritual leader of her family. She taught her family the rewards of giving 
  and the joy of unconditional love. She was a member and past president of the

  her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her daughter Susanne Fiori
