Martha was born Jan. 30, 1922, in Baiting Hollow, N.Y., to Stephanie (Grodski) and Louis Zebrowski. On Feb. 10, 1946, she married the love of her life, Albert Sledzieski, at Our Lady of Ostrabrama R.C. Church in Cutchogue. Together they had three children and made their home in Greenport.

Martha worked as a waitress at Mitchell’s restaurant and a nurse’s aide at San Simeon by the Sound. She and her husband also farmed at “Reds” Happy Acres until Albert’s passing in 1961.
