She gained her MD in childbirth fever in 1931, at a time when 40% of those admitted to hospital with childbirth fever died from it. She worked at Belvidere and Mearnskirk hospitals in Glasgow. After marriage she was a great support to her husband—Russell Dickson Martin, a regional medical officer in Clydebank, Inverness, and Edinburgh—with her medical knowledge. She was a strong woman, known for her great hospitality and her love of her garden. Predeceased by her husband, she leaves three children and two grandchildren.
