Martha Drake

Martha "Jane" Drake (Seeger), 89 was born June 6. 1936 in Kennett, Missouri, formerly of Owosso Michigan, Jacksonville Arkansas and Bluffton Indiana entered into eternal life August 19, 2025, at The Lodge Assisted Living Facility in Gun Barrel City, Texas.

Jane Seeger married Francis Drake on June 20, 1953, and they were married for 64 years.

After retirement they enjoyed traveling for many years. She never saw a garage sale sign that she could pass up. She enjoyed the pursuit of a bargain and then setting up at flea markets throughout their travels she was able to see her profits from those bargains. She loved to spend time with family, dance, and fish (only keeping the "fat ones").

She was a Charter Member of Mary Queen of Heaven Catholic Church and belonged to the Council of Catholic Women.

She was predeceased by her husband Francis D. Drake, her parents, William and Florence Seeger (Barnfield), brother Amos Seeger as well as sisters Claudine Bradd and Georgia Winchester.

She is survived by her Children Rebecca Drake of Marmora Ontario Canada, Denise Drake Bentley (Gary) of Malakoff Texas and Patrick Drake (Lori) of Jacksonville Arkansas. She is also survived by her 8 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.

We want to thank the caregivers at The Lodge in Gun Barrell City for their loving care as well as Cedar Creek Lake Home Health and Hospice.

Visitation will be Sunday, August 24, 2025, from 5-6 followed by Rosary at Huckabee-Tomlinson Funeral Home in Malakoff, Texas.

Funeral Mass will be Monday, August 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Mary Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Malakoff, TX, officiated by Father Patrick Fenton, followed by burial at Mary Queen of Heaven Cemetery.

May eternal rest be granted unto her oh lord and let perpetual light shine on her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen
