Martha Houston Brasher, age 88, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home surrounded by her loved ones on Friday, Aug. 8, 2025.

She was born November 19, 1936, in Charleston to James Glyndon and Mary Ella Houston and grew up in the Pine Hill community near Oakland with her two brothers and sister.

Martha lived a life rooted in faith, family and hard work. She was a devoted produce farmer and enjoyed having her children work alongside her through the years where they learned her strong work ethic. Later, she followed her passion for food and hospitality by opening Martha’s Market in Grenada with her sister-in-law, Ann Brasher — a small soup and sandwich restaurant that quickly became a town staple and brought her immense joy as she cultivated friendships and shared her warmth with every person who ate with her. She had a special way of putting her heart into everything she touched.

She was a proud and devoted mother and grandmother, which are roles she cherished most in life. She was a constant source of love, wisdom, and strength to her four children and fourteen grandchildren, who blessed her with nineteen great-grandchildren. Martha’s family brought her endless joy, which is evident by the legacy she leaves.

Known for her generous heart and unwavering resilience, Martha touched countless lives and was lovingly known as Grammi to everyone who came to her home. Her outer beauty was only matched by the beauty inside her heart. Whether working in her garden, preparing a warm meal, or simply spending time with her children and grandchildren, she made everyone in her life feel loved and cared for.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Glyndon and Mary Ella Houston; a daughter, Amanda Brasher Mabus; a granddaughter, Ariel Brasher; and brothers, J.G. Houston Jr. and Joe Houston.

She is survived by her children, Sam Brasher Jr., Seburn Brasher (Crystal) and Andrea Davis (Ronnie); thirteen grandchildren, Clint Mabus, Brett Brasher, Ashton Campbell, Atley Mabus, Mallory Pratt, Sarah Betts Mabus, Jack Mabus, Katelyn Mabus-Presley, Brigg Brasher, Bruce Brasher, Blaye Brasher, Houston Brasher and Mary Ella Brasher; nineteen great-grandchildren, Lila Ray, Allie Grace, Austin, Becky Kate, Anderson, Ansley, Camp, Farah, Abby, Gatlin, Logan, Carter, Lane, Ann Hart, Marshall, Dawson, Isla, Karson and Britton; her sister, Marilyn Haynes (Ray); and honorary son, Eddie Reynolds.

He spent his early years in Jackson, Mississippi, where he attended Murrah High School, and later completed his secondary education at Marion Military Institute in Marion, Alabama.

Charles went on to study Economics at Mississippi College, when he met the love of his life, Patsy Amy White. The two were married on June 12, 1966, beginning a devoted partnership that would span 59 years. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics in May 1968 and enlisted in the United States Air Force the following week.

Commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant after completing Officer’s Training School, Charles pursued pilot training before serving as Supply Operations Officer for the Air Combat Command at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada. He rose to the rank of Captain before receiving an honorable discharge on June 1, 1972. That same year, during a stop in Houston to visit his cousin on the way back to Mississippi, Charles decided to make Houston his permanent home.

In 1972, Charles began a long and fulfilling career with Hughes Tool Company, later BakerHughes, where he worked until his retirement in 2008. He and Patsy welcomed two children—Margaret Ruth in 1969 and Todd Lucas in 1973—building a life centered on love, faith, and quiet strength.

Charles was an active member of the community, volunteering in retirement at Cypress United Methodist Church, Millsap Elementary School, and the Lone Star Flight Museum. Whether serving his country, his coworkers, or his community, Charles lived with humility, integrity, and a deep sense of purpose.

He is survived by his loving wife, Patsy McLemore; daughter, Margaret Ruth Barnett and her husband, Greg Barnett; son, Todd Lucas McLemore and his wife, Tisha McLemore; and five cherished grandchildren: Bridget Ruth Barnett, Brenda Joyce Barnett, Abigail Grace McLemore, Samuel Lucas McLemore, and William Montgomery McLemore.

He was known for being hard-headed, generous, and full of character. He might have challenged you with his strong opinions, but he’d also give you the shirt off his back without a second thought.
