Nancy Grace Abbott Lott Martin
June 23, 1940 — February 8, 2022
Our sweet mom, Nancy Grace Abbott Lott Martin, passed away on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, in South Ogden, Utah. Nancy was born June 23, 1940, in Brigham City, Utah. She was the second child of six children born to John Oldham and Katie Archibald Abbott. She was always proud that she was named after her grandmothers. She spent the first five years of her life on the family dry farm in Pocatello Valley. When she was seven the family purchased a winter home in Malad, Idaho. She learned the value of hard work at a young age working on the family farm with her family and extended family. She attended school in Malad and made many lifelong friends she grew up with and loved.
She married our dad Calvin Clair Lott on September 11, 1957, in Malad, Idaho. They were blessed with six children. They were later divorced. She married Vernon James Martin on November 23, 1996, in Ogden, Utah.
Mom was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and always had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ. She served in many callings in the Church, but she especially loved serving the children in Primary.
Family was always mom’s first concern. She was a wonderful mother, wife, and homemaker. She was always able to make a lot out of a little. She was a good cook and always provided wonderful meals for our family.
She worked at the Ogden Temple, keeping the temple clean and beautiful. She later worked for Laidlaw Busing as a bus aide. She enjoyed the children on the bus so much. Although mom had many trials in her life, she tried hard to do the best she could.
