A beautiful soul gained her angel wings March 31, 2024, after a brief illness. Marta Poss Anderson Grayson was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Marta was born on May 12, 1952, in San Angelo to John and Weeta Poss.
Marta loved to spend time with family and friends and was an excellent hostess. Rocky and Marta’s home was the most warm and welcoming place. The door was always open with a fresh glass of sweet tea or an ice-cold beer and Jimmy Buffett playing in the background. You couldn’t help but smile just pulling in the driveway. So many of the world’s problems were solved in their backyard. It was just a home but the people and love in it, made it one of the best places to be. It was an oasis that will always be remembered fondly.
In the years following Rocky’s passing, Marta continued to make sure everyone knew how much she loved them as her life was changing. Her family was very thankful when she met Jesse Bailey (JB) Grayson and eventually married him. Marta and JB’s families blended well together and have been beyond blessed to share this season of life. JB did everything within his power to give Marta all the things she wanted including a beautiful greenhouse for all her plants. Marta had a green thumb and grew the most beautiful flowers. She also loved to travel and always had the best pictures to share.
Marta is survived by her husband Jesse Bailey Grayson, sons Andrew Alwine (Ashley Alwine) and Patrick Anderson (Dara Anderson), bonus children Lauri Herndon (Randy Herndon) and Kristy Brody (Patrick Brody), sisters Maurie Poss Farr (Bobby Allen) and Michelle Poss Seay (Marvin Seay), grandchildren Skylar Alwine, Austin Alwine, Aiyden Alwine, Kashmir Clement, Preston Alwine, Drew and Samantha Robbins, Helen Herndon, Jacob Brody, and Levi Brody. Marta is also survived by her nieces who looked at her as an extra mom Laurie Jones (James Jones), Jaime Thomas (Greg Norman), Chelsea Young (Casey Young), and Carlea Newell, as well as other nieces, nephews, and cousins. She is also survived by close friends Barry Alwine (Belinda Alwine) and Stasey Kadlacek (Nick Kadlacek) and many more who will miss her greatly.
Marta was preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, James (Rocky) Anderson Jr., brother Kirby Poss, sister Marsha Kaye Poss, and parents John and Weeta Poss.
A visitation will occur on April 6, 2024, from 5-7 p.m. at Harper Funeral Home in San Angelo. A celebration of life is also being planned for a later date. An incredibly large hole has been left in our family and Marta will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Your prayers are appreciated during this time.
