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.
