Marty passed away peacefully on November 27, 2024 following a long illness. He

is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Dee Conway and by many nieces and nephews who are grateful for the years of laughter and love. Marty

touched many lives as both a beloved high school teacher and as a professor of

mathematics at area colleges, including Mount Holyoke College and Smith

College. He had an ability to engage with his students, supporting their efforts to

learn, with his kind heart and Irish wit. Marty shared his love for the arts, including

theater; with many students to whom he introduced Broadway shows during

school trips He entertained audiences as a beloved actor at the Yankee Peddler

Opera House in Holyoke, and in South Hadley with the Mount Holyoke College

Theatre Department and Lab theater for over 13 years. This included the Summer

Theatre, and as far away as in Bernardston, VT.

His love of the Arts extended into the culinary Arts. Marty was an amazing

storyteller and a short story author and loved golf. He was a member of the "bogey

is my par club." His talents were a gift to his family and friends. Marty had

several celebrations of life with his family members and lifelong friends while he

was an inpatient at the Fisher Home. At his request there will be no additional

services.

Dee would like to extend her deepest thanks to Marty's care teams at The Fisher

Home, as well as to ALL who have supported them throughout Marty's illness.
