Martha Louise Asche's Obituary
ASCHE, Martha, 94, of Miami, passed away peacefully at her home of 64 years surrounded by family on September 27.

She was an enthusiastic Girl Scout Leader and for many years was a substitute teacher on a daily basis at local elementary schools. Her love of children was a hallmark of her life.
She was a faithful and active member of the congregations of Lejeune Presbyterian, Trinity Presbyterian, and Southwest Community churches.
