Obituary

Martha M. Lengacher, 94, a long-time resident of Hicksville, Ohio, peacefully passed away Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at Heritage Pointe of Fort Wayne.  Martha was born April 27, 1931, in Mark Center, Ohio, daughter of the late Mose B. and Amanda N. (Miller) Shrock.  Martha married Martin C. Lengacher on July 25, 1949, and he preceded her in death on July 28, 2005.  While being a full-time homemaker and tending to the needs of their growing family, Martha helped Martin run their family business, Martin Lengacher Construction - managing the books and taking responsibility for other various tasks.  Martin and Martha were founding members of Central Mennonite Church, and she was a current member of the Hicksville Mennonite Church.  In her younger years, Martha was an avid golfer - playing in several local leagues.  She enjoyed traveling with Martin and her family and was a talented baker – making the world's best cinnamon rolls, sugar cookies and pies.  Martha was also a talented quilter and donated several prize-winning quilts to the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale.
