Bio
Martina A. Fox, 72, of Baker City, died July 6, 2010, at Baker City. Her graveside memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday in the veterans section of Mount Hope Cemetery. There will be a celebration of her life at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, 2005 Valley Ave. Martina was born on June 21,1938, at Ontario. She was the daughter of Ethel and Glen Troyer. She moved to Baker City in 1943, and spent the next 25 years growing up, her family said. She married at 17 and had five children. At the age of 30, she moved to Germany with her husband, James C. Fox, with an additional five stepchildren in tow. Cooking, cleaning and caring for 10 children is a testament to her determined nature. Many moves and years later, she and Jim returned to Baker City where they both were very active members of the Baker City Elks Lodge. These years were happy ones, for both of them. She was a grandmother to six boys and two girls and just recently became a great-grand-mother for the third time. She was a petite woman who, despite her small stature, was a force of will; she lived life on her terms and lived it fully, her family members said. "She taught her children by example that under any circumstances, good or bad, to put one foot in front of the other and to just keep walking," they said. She will be missed by her family and many friends and will join her husband, James C. Fox, who died on Feb. 15, 2010. Survivors include her children, Glenda O'Connor, Mark Fox Sr., Terry Hayes-Sanders, Sherry Cisna, Autumn Fox, and stepson, Charles Fox; her grandchildren, Mark, Ben, Levi and Joe Fox, Amanda Rupel, Jennifer Cisna, Spencer Hayes and Logan Perkins; great-grandchildren, Alexis and Aden Rupel and Gabrile Fox; her sister, Rosie Proffitt; and lifelong friends, Shirley Manion and Carol Anderson.
