Martha was born on June 24, 1929 in Dakota County, rural Jackson, Nebraska to Carl and Elizabeth (Rasmussen) Hansen.  She received her education in Waterbury, Nebraska, graduating with the Class of 1947.  Martha married Harold Albrecht on January 7, 1948 in Sioux City, Iowa.  She was a homemaker her entire life, always helping on the family farm where she and Harold raised 5 children.  Martha didn’t move off the farm until 2005 when she moved to Ponca, and made her final move to Regency Square Care Center in 2017. 

Martha was a 4-H Leader for many years, was a member of WELCA, and served on the election boards in Dakota and Dixon Counties.  One of her greatest joys was her family, especially spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  There were many memories made sitting on the counter helping her bake cookies.

Left to cherish her memory include her children Valerie Hair of Sioux City, Terry (Bren) Albrecht of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Les (Cheri) Albrecht of Jackson, Nebraska, and Carol (Dick) Blausey of Sergeant Bluff, Iowa; 14 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Martha was preceded in death by her parents, husband Harold in February of 1994, infant daughter Karen, daughter Cheryl Foley, and grandson Jack Foley.
