Marty graduated from Amarillo High School in Texas . She loved to read and considered herself very studious . Marty married the love of her life , Edwin Forester , in 1967 . He looked at her like she was an angel sent from heaven . Edwin served in the Army before he met Marty , and worked at CB Anderson Electric Company .
