Martha Kidd

Martha Kidd passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, February 16, 2019. She was 77 years old. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, February, 20th at 10:30 am at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines, IA. Private burial will follow at Carlisle Township Cemetery.

Martha was born on March 17, 1941 in Des Moines, Iowa and lived in Carlisle during her childhood. She met her husband Jim Kidd during her years at Coe College and they eventually married and had two children.

Martha was a caring, strong, sarcastic, woman who kept it “real” all the time. She was that sassy, fun loving lady that told you how it was and made it genuine. She was committed to her children, her friends and her community.

Martha was also Jim’s soul mate and life partner and she can never be replaced. She was her children’s best friend and to have a mother like that is a gift that will be cherished forever.

Left to mourn Martha is her husband of 55 years, James; her two children, Kim and Jeff; three grandchildren, Adam, Peter and Jake; and three great-granddaughters.
