Martha Bevis, 80, passed away April 22nd, 2007. She was born to Maurice and
Hazel Lackey of Hiddennite, N.C. 
Martha had a broad array of interests including political and environmental
concerns. In the 1960's she was an assistant to Lyndon Baines Johnson during
the time he was Majority Leader and Vice President. Martha was a founding
member of Lamaze Houston and the Houston Organization for Parental Education
(HOPE); organizations that promoted the performance of natural childbirth in
Houston hospitals. She was a founding member of La Leche League of Houston,
which sought to educate about the benefits of breast feeding. Starting in
the 70's and continuing to the present she founded and ran The Safe Water
foundation of Texas, an organization that sought to prevent the fluoridation
of public water supplies throughout the nation. 

In addition to the above, she was a devoted wife; raised 4 boys and had them
involved in baseball, football, tennis, karate, judo, piano and other
interests too numerous to mention. She was an original "Soccer Mom" well
before the term existed. 
The loss of Martha's sweet spirit is grieved by her husband of 59 years,
Richard, siblings Buster , Lorene and Nancy of North Carolina, children
Blair, Cameron, Richard and Daryl, and grandchildren Allison, Mark, Promise,
and Ana.

Home, 1415 Campbell Rd., Houston, TX. A celebration of Martha's life will be
held on at 11:00 am Saturday, April 28th at Terrace United Methodist Church,
burial to follow at Memorial Oaks.
