[Douglas] Garnar said.

A gardener, musician--on the cello and piano--dramatist, epicure and dancing enthusiast, Mrs. [Martha] Fenty filled her life with art. Her gift for reciting African-American poetry on stage was extraordinary, said [Brenda] Cave-James, herself a poet.

"She had an incredible one-woman show," she said. "It just blew me away."
