They moved to Granite, Oklahoma for a short time, then back to California for the war years. After WWII there was a move to Tacoma, Washington, where she lived out her remaining years. There she and Jesse raised two children, son Ronald Owen and daughter Janet Beth. Martha worked for many years in the faculty cafeteria at the University of Puget Sound.
