Beverly Martin

I am a native Cobb Countian. My great-great-grandfather settled here around 1851, one hundred years before I was born.

I attended Blackwell Elementary School; East Cobb and Daniell Middle Schools; and graduated in 1969 from the “old” Sprayberry High School, which is now Walker School on Cobb Parkway.

After graduation, I began working at Equifax where I was employed for 10 years. During that time period, I married and had two children. I had the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom for seven years and entered back into the work force in 1993 as a Department Secretary in the Admissions Office at Life University. In 1998, I started working for Cobb County Government as an Administrative Assistant in Pretrial Court Services. I transferred to the County Manager’s Office in 2001 as the Administrative Assistant to his Executive Assistant.

I have always loved music and grew up singing in church choirs as well as in my high school chorus. I was a member of the Roswell Street Baptist Church Adult Choir for 25 years and had the opportunity to sing in a ladies ensemble, an a cappella choir and praise ensemble. I also played in the handbell choir. I served as a Children’s Choir Director for 13 years for the 4 year old and 2nd grade choirs and was the Preschool Choir Coordinator for two years. I am currently a member of Macland Baptist Church and sing in their adult choir.

I thank God for His direction in my life and grateful for His many blessings which include my two wonderful children. My son Greg & wife Stephanie live in Kennesaw and are the parents of my “perfect” grandson Noah. My daughter Melissa & husband Kurt live in Tampa, FL and are the parents of my beautiful granddaughter Kaylee. I also have three grand-dogs Bronx, Theo and Kirby.

Some of my hobbies include photography, crafts and reading. I enjoy bowling, going to concerts and traveling. I am currently divorced and live in West Cobb.

I am honored to be a part of the CSO Chorus.
