Paula "Jan" Martin, 66, of Greer, SC, went to be with the Lord Sunday, February 28, 2021 after a short, yet brave battle with cancer. She was born in Greenville, SC to the late Thomas and Joyce Walker Amick.
Jan is survived by her loving husband of 31 years, Steven L. Martin; daughter, Jennifer Amanda Woodard (Scott) of Gideon, MN; four-legged children, Luke the Boxer and Layla the rescue mix; grandchildren, Logan and Payton Woodard; cousin, Rhonda Little of Easley; and special friends and their families: Regina Bridges, Michele Walden Satterfield, Billy and LouAnne Overton, and Donna and John Segee.
Jan was the light, anchor, manager, and love of Steven's life - the only woman who could keep him straight and behavin.' She and Steven enjoyed traveling together, especially to the beach and the mountains. Jan was a strong-minded, good-hearted woman, whom everybody loved; she would help any friend in need, and even those without need. She was also a natural dog whisperer, able to approach ANY dog and be received with love.
