After graduating from Peoria High School in 1950, Marty went on to Duke University where she received a BA degree in elementary school education in 1954. During her junior year at Duke, she met Al Lynch, the love of her life.

They were married on August 28, 1954 in Peoria, and lived in Michigan, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland, before settling in Middletown in 1970.

Initially a full time homemaker, Marty later started teaching third grade at Lincroft Elementary School, a career that would span 21 years, retiring in 1997.

She loved teaching and connecting with her students. Marty loved her family and especially adored her grandchildren. The family has fond memories of Hilton Head, a favorite vacation spot. After a day at the beach or playing golf, Marty often played cards and board games with her grandchildren.

Marty also loved traveling and reading and, in retirement, took painting lessons and later produced beautiful landscape scenes. Marty loved sports. In her teens and throughout high school, she was an accomplished swimmer, adept at freestyle and backstroke. She raced in many swim meets and finals in Peoria and Chicago.

Also a big baseball fan, Marty loved her NY Mets. Her favorite spectator sport was watching her sons and grandchildren, whether it was T-ball, Little League, high school, or college sports. Always cheering from her seat. Marty leaves behind her loving husband of 68 years, Albert V. Lynch, Red Bank, sons Albert (Diane) Lynch and David Lynch, and three grandchildren, Matthew, David, and Katherine.
