Martha
February 4, 1924 - January 22, 2012
Martha Olga Fetting, nee Kassulat, age 87, of Hot Springs, died, Sunday, January 22, 2012. She was born on February 4, 1924 in Lithuania to her late parents, Peter Kassulat and Ane Neuman Kassulat. Martha was a proud member of the First Lutheran Church, Hot Springs, since she and her husband, Julius, retired to Hot Springs 28 years ago from Chicago, Illinois. She sang in the choir for many years, and was an active member and coordinator of the Son Shine Circle. She loved to do God's work with her hands, and made countless items to be distributed to the needy throughout Hot Springs, various other states and countries. Her hands were never idle; she felt she always had to do for the under-privileged. She was a true child of God. She knew God had saved her numerous times in World War II, that she wanted to give back, and, give back she did, all of her life. One of Martha's many passions was her love of flowers and plants, which she cultivated and pampered outside and in her home. Martha is preceded in death by her parents, Peter and Ane Kassulat; her husband, Julius Fetting; one daughter, Waltraud Lampe; one grandson, Torsten Lampe; one brother, John Kasiulis; two sisters, Elena Girdvainis, and Anna Langas.
