Martha June Hawk, a devoted nurse, beloved sister, and cherished aunt, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 23, 2025. She was 85. She was the daughter of the late John Wilson and Evelyn Elizabeth (Crissman) Willow. She enjoyed reading, cats, flowers and eating out.

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Martha was a 1958 graduate of Greenwood High School in Millerstown, and a graduate of Harrisburg Hospital School of Nursing where she first discovered her passion for helping others—a calling that led her to a proud and fulfilling career as a Registered Nurse. Her compassion, strength, and unwavering dedication touched countless lives throughout her years of service.

Martha spent many years in Franklin, Massachusetts, where she built a life rooted in kindness and community. Later, she returned to her Pennsylvania roots, settling in the central PA area and most recently residing at Ecumenical Retirement Community, where she was known for her warmth, wit, and gentle spirit.

She is survived by her loving siblings: Sara (George) Hicks, Doris Witmer, John "Bobby" (Peggy) Willow, and David "Neil" (Sally) Willow, as well as several nieces and nephews who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Martha’s memory to Aline United Methodist Church in Mount Pleasant Mills or the Harrisburg Humane Society.

Arrangements are by the Joseph W. Epler Funeral Home.
