Anita Loree Martin

It is with sadness, love, and gratitude for her life that we announce the passing of Anita Loree Martin (Trembly). A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and faithful servant of God. Anita entered the gates of heaven on November 8th, 2025, at the age of 73.

Born September 28th, 1952, in Wray Colorado, her family moved from St Francis, KS to Cozad, NE in 1969. As a teen she proclaimed her faith in Jesus through baptism. She graduated from Cozad High School in 1970, where she met her husband, Charles. They were married in 1971 before heading off to college where Anita attended Grace Bible Institute in Omaha for one year and then transferred to the Lincoln School of Commerce. Charles and Anita later moved to Ames, Iowa where she worked at Iowa State University as a secretary in the economics department, and later in the botany department while supporting Charles through veterinary school. They returned to Lexington in 1977 where they started their family and Anita became a full-time mother to her 3 children Jeremy, Bryce, and Amy. Dedicated and faithful, Anita lived a life with a deep love of family and unwavering faith. She devoted her heart to serving her family with kindness, encouragement, and prayers on behalf of those she loved. Anita was a pillar of strength in her family. She poured herself into her home and family with a gentle spirit and wisdom, and supported her community through involvement in church, volunteer work, and the power of prayer. Anita lived her faith beautifully.

She is survived by her husband Charles, children Jeremy (Gail) Martin of Wellfleet, NE, Bryce (Valerie) Martin and Amy (Mike) Klauer of Jefferson, IA; grandchildren Chase, Regan and Kaitlin Martin of Wellfleet, Callie, Kimber and Crew Martin, and Brecken, Taytum and Bohde Klauer of Jefferson; siblings Kent (Kathy) Trembly, Kevin (Sue) Trembly, and Sheryl (Greg) Fasse, many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends who will continue to carry her legacy of love and faith forward. Anita is preceded in death by her parents Jake & Elaine Trembly, Clifford & Pearl Martin, and her grandson Landon Martin, son of Bryce & Valerie.

A celebration of Anita’s life will be held at Berean Bible Church in Lexington, NE on Saturday, November 15th, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. with interment to follow at Mount Hope Cemetery, Rural Lexington.
