Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On March 22, 2023 @ 5:55 PM In Obituary,Zurich | 138 Comments

OVERHOLT: Martha Dianne (Denomme) of Zurich

With her family by her side and surrounded with so much love in the comfort of Jessica’s House, Martha Dianne (Denomme ) Overholt passed away on Monday March 20, 2023 in her 85th year. Devoted wife of the late Wilfred Overholt (2011). Cherished mother & mother-in-law to Vicki and Randy Geoffrey, Steve and Deb Overholt, Patti and Steve Geoffrey, Debbie Regier and Ron, Paul and Colleen Overholt, Cathi Clausius and Pete and Steph Overholt. Forever loved by her 24 grandchildren Pam, Jason, Jeremy, Tabitha, Natalie, Ashley, Kim, Rebecca, Laura, Michael, Nick, Nathan, Chris, Curtis , Amanda, Mitch, Brett, Lauryn, Holly, Leah, Mallory, Will, Erica, Ava and a loving great grandmother to 28 great grandchildren. Pre-deceased by her father Dennis Denomme (1955) and mother Olivia (Masse) Denomme Bedard (2015). She will be dearly missed by her sister and brother- in-law Cecilia and Don Denomme. Martha will be fondly remembered by her sister and brother in-laws and nieces and nephews.

Martha lived her life caring for her family and others. She provided her children and grandchildren with all the love, support, prayers and comfort a family could ask. She taught her children to work hard and to always be grateful. She was always so humble and unselfish and her faith, family and friends were so important to her. Such a nurturing heart in everything she did whether it was cooking, baking, sewing, gardening, or caring for her home and her home or heart was not complete without a dog or cat. Her biggest joy was seeing her family together and she made that happen with hosting many family traditions.

A mother’s love is endless, and NOTHING can take that away. 

In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away.
Although are hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.

Martha’s family is grateful for all the compassion and tender care that she received in her 6 plus years at Blue Water Rest Home we knew mom was carefully cared for and was always treated with such dignity, respect, and kindness. The family wish to express a very special thank you to the wonderful team at Jessica’s House for all the compassion and tenderness shown to our mother and our entire family. Our wishes for mom to be with her children was greatly assisted and gave consolation and comfort to all of us.

To the families of Martha,
I did not know Martha very well, however, I knew her children especially Steve and daughter-in-law Deb. And through knowing them, I realize that Steve’s mother was a kind and gentle soul who passed on these amazing gifts to her children. May all of you find some peace through this difficult time of saying goodbye to an endless love, and know that Martha will always walk beside you as she watches over all of you from Heaven.
With sincere heartfelt condolences.

Condolence from Rose Marie Overholt on March 22nd, 2023 7:43 PM

There are no words to express what my Aunt Martha meant to me. She literally was like my “second mother”. So many of my greatest childhood memories include her and my cousins (more like siblings) as we all grew up together.
She instilled the importance of family in every one of her children, which has been carried on to this day.
She was all about her family; n her strength and devotion was unwavering.
I’ll carry her love within me forever.

To my cherished cousins and their families, my heart is deeply saddened for all of you. Knowing that she will be watching over you from this day forward is in itself a Blessing.
Thank you for always sharing yourselves and your families with me and for your unconditional love all my life. I’ll miss Aunt Martha deeply and will hold my beautiful memories close to my heart.

I love all of you dearly Xo

Condolence from Jacqui Denomme on March 23rd, 2023 9:41 AM

My deep condolences to my dear Overholt cousins as you say farewell to your beautiful Mom.

Some special memories: Even though my Aunt Martha and Uncle Willie had seven children of their own (my Most Awesome Cousins :-) there always seemed to be room for one or two or three more in their fun-filled, yet extremely organized and well-run home. Spending a week or two in Zurich each summer was truly one of the major highlights of my year. Waking up in the morning to breakfast laid out on the table because Aunt Martha had gotten up early to make breakfast for Uncle Willy before he headed off to work, everyone working together to do the morning clean-up chores and then a whole day of fun until we gathered again for lunch or dinner. There was a whole building that was a ‘play-room’ a big garden, a backyard filled with trees and a just a sense of joy and fun. Aunt Martha could be ‘stern’ for a few seconds or so, if she needed to be but there was always a smile and a twinkle in her eye very shortly after. I don’t remember her often sitting down, she was always working although she DID have an afternoon nap, some summers. Anyone who knew her doesn’t need me to describe her but just wanted to say how blessed I have felt all of my life to be always welcomed into the home, life and celebrations of such a wonderful family led by Aunt Martha and Uncle Willie who have passed their wonderfulness on to their children, my cousins and their spouses. May you be dancing together in heaven with smiles on your faces and may you feel our love and gratitude for the great love and lives you lived and shared with us. xxoo

Condolence from Your Legacy Will Live On! on March 24th, 2023 4:21 PM

We have met so many angels in the past two weeks then we have in a lifetime. Our journey has been long but how it ended was more than we could have asked for to be at Jessica’s House all together. Dementia is heartless disease take’s your loved one a little piece at a time, then throw Covid in which just added to more frustration , we all feel some guilt that we were not there more, but I know that Dad’s presence was with you when we were not. The nursing home became your new home and your caregivers your new family who took such good care of you and really loved you . Thank you for all the beautiful memories, the good times and your unconditional love. I know your strength was installed in us all, you rest easy now, give Dad a big hug for us all. Watch over us all until we meet again 😘

Condolence from Rick Heywood on March 24th, 2023 6:16 PM

Condolence from Garry and Brenda Koehler on March 26th, 2023 12:54 PM

Dear Vicki, Steve, Patti, Debbie, Paul, Cathi and Pete, all of your Spouses/ Partners, Children and Grand babies.
It’s with Love and Respect for that Angel who has left this earth, whom you called “Mom” and” Grandma”, that we send our prayers, deepest condolences and tightest Hugs and love to all of you.
Martha opened her home to some little girls who moved to Zurich from
London, and never, ever shut the doors.
Your Momma had so many kids but treated us like her very own.
She shared her love unconditionally, never running out. She instilled kindness, sharing, humour, family chores and the love of many Special Occasions and Holidays….
She was an Angel with an apron on and Inspiration to all who were lucky enough to know her. The Twinkle in her Blue Eyes will be carried on for generations.
She will join her Love and
her Handsome Willie and together they’ll watch over the flock, they were so proud of.
I thank sweet Martha, for the “3rd” Momma … she was to me.
With Love and sympathy… xo
Garry and Brenda, Shauna and Steve Coward & Jillian and Jesse McCann 🙏🏻❤️
