I met Martha several years before I started working with Dr. Chili. My daughter had the privilege of taking violin lessons with her at Baum School. Fast forward a few years and I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Chili. What a blessing to have known and worked with the both of them! My heart felt condolences to you at this time of loss. I would love to attend a Memorial service when you have it.

My son took violin lessons from her at Johns Hill and remember her fondly. She had gave all of us a good foundation in music and she will not be forgotten..

So many memories of time spent in George and Martha's home and having the honor of attending Easter Services with the family. Martha treated each of the kids in the neighborhood as if we were her own and taught us so much! You could gain 10 pounds just walking into Martha's kitchen, there was always something good being prepared! In their home you were always family! Our prayers to all of you, the world has lost one of it's brightest beacons! With Love, Sean and Lisa Roach
I am sad to hear of Martha's passing. She was a wonderful person. I loved working with her, eating her delicious cooking and admiring her beautiful quilts. My sympathy goes out to all of the family. I was recently thinking about her. I hope that her mind and vitality are now restored and that she is with George.
Sorry for your loss.
To Pete and all of the family, we want to extend our sorrow to a great woman. Prayers sent to all

Our daughter was a string instrument student of Mrs Chiligiris An excellent teacher and we have many fond memories of her music teaching at Baum. I am sure she will be singing and teaching music to her friends in haven.
"Death ends a life, not a relationship. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on-in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. Your Mom will live on-in my heart forever. Love Mary R.
