Martha Loew
1927-2026

A note from Rhea Jezer, Vice Chair

It is with sadness that I report that Martha Loew, age 99, peacefully passed away yesterday. Martha was chair of our group for many, many years. When I ran for Congress in 1991, Martha stepped up and  replaced me as chair. She then held that position until 2017! She always signed off as the “Tree hugger” and particularly  avidly worked to protect Clark Reservation near her home as well as the Adirondack Forests where she spent her summers. For many years she fought alongside Vicki Baker as a member of “JAMPAC” which was against the building of the OCRRA plant where it now stands.
A couple of years ago we had a small party where we awarded Martha a lifetime honor of Emeritus member of the CNNY Excom position. Until she could not handle it anymore, until this past year she still tuned in to all Chapter and group ExCom meetings.

May Martha rest in peace but she probably is already working to make sure heaven is doing the right thing.

Her daughter is planning to have a memorial service at a later date.
