She had a tremendous love for children, and was the owner / operator of The Ree Center in Gulfport prior to Hurricane Katrina, where she made a huge impact on a lot of young lives. Bert was preceded by her parents, Rosalie & Russell Delano, Sr. and Ronald Eugene Noble, Sr.; a grandson, Shane Moore; a sister, Wendy Thomas; and a brother, R. B. Delano, Jr. She is survived by her loving husband, Kent Martin; her children, Carrie (Cedric) Ladner, B.

Bert chose to have a "living funeral", where family and friends paid their respects with visits and calls before her passing. Therefore, there will be no funeral services. Her wishes were to be cremated, and her ashes will be on property for her family and friends to visit her in her circle. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the Martin family in their time of need.
