Martha (Marty) B. Peterson passed away on April 21, 2026, in Sapulpa, Ok. She was born in Yakima, Washinton to Caryl (Brush) Garfield and Robert E. Garfield on April 8, 1941. She was raised in Riverton, Wy and graduated from Riverton High School in 1959. Following graduation she attended Cosmetology School in Oklahoma.

Returning to Riverton, she married Wendell Manka and had two children, Tina and Mark. She was a beautician, and for many years worked out of her home.

In 1976, she married Cletus Peterson and together they shared lots of laughs and many adventures, taking many road trips and camping. Together they started a Roto-Rooter business in Riverton and Cheyenne, Wy and in Bull Head City, Az.

They then put down roots in Kellyville, Ok to be near her mother and stepfather. She opened a beauty shop with several friends where they had a successful business there.

She lived an active life, loved to garden, enjoyed occasional trips to the casino, and her circle of friends and family. Her family was always a priority, especially being a grandmother. She was the sweetest, kindest, most generous person you could ever know.

She was preceded in death by her husband Cletus Peterson, mother and stepfather Caryl and Merritt Hooper, and father Robert E. Garfield.

Marty is survived by daughter Tina Fullmer of Kellyville, Ok, son Mark of Manka Ok, sister Muriel Kraus of Riverton, Wy, brother Robert Garfield of Phoenix, Az, 4 grandchildren, 4 great granddaughters, and 2 great great grandsons.
