Martha Cupit Allred, 87, of Beaumont, died Sunday, November 6, 2022, at Harbor Hospice, Beaumont. She was born on May 22, 1935, to Rosalie Garrett Cupit and Thomas Cupit, in Natchez, Mississippi.

Martha dedicated her life to taking care of her husband and children. Even though she was not an outdoor enthusiast, to be with her family she went camping, snow skiing, canoeing, and boating. She even hiked the Grand Canyon, Guadeloupe, and Big Ben. Everyone knew there was a gourmet meal at the end of the day. Her passion was focused on cooking delicious meals every night. Martha had a reputation in the neighborhood. All the children on and around Continental Lane showed up at our door to receive fresh bread, delicious deserts, and gourmet dinners. Her dedication to her family showed through her passion in cooking. Attention was taken by her children who could feel the love from her heart. No other has shown more love to Rudy, children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren.
