Martha Thom Mafuleni
December 30, 1977 – July 28, 2023
In Loving Memory
Sometimes the light dims in our world, however, knowing and loving Martha, our beacon of light just keeps shining so bright. She left a legacy of pure love, of danceable hope and of beautiful memories that we can all hold near and dear. As we join together to play music, let us collectively fill our hearts with love and honor for our dear friend and sister, Martha Thom Mafuleni. Let us forever hold, tenderly, her beautiful family, Jacob, Abel, Anotidaishe, Byron, Tinotenda, and many other loved ones that are grieving and putting together a life without her. Truly, her spirit is within each of us and this fall session her spirit can guide us as we learn and grow as players and as wonderful members of this sacred community. Zimbabwe is deep within us and we can all let our lights shine in honor of our beloved Martha. In loving memory, let’s dance, sing and play in all of her glory!
