Natasha Marie Martin, 45, of South Bend, passed away in her home on January 3rd 2026. Born in Elkhart on April 27, 1980, to Laura Casselman and Lowell (Willie) Wilkins, Natasha dedicated her life to the people she loved most.

A devoted wife to Frederick James Martin Sr. for 28 years, Natasha’s primary joy and purpose was her family. She took immense pride in being a stay-at-home mother, vowing her life to raising her children: Brandon (Nichole) Martin, Haylee Martin, and Darlene Martin.

While she was a pillar of strength for her children, her grandchildren—Sophia, Jacob, Khylee, Brayden, Olivia, Aisiah, Owen, Jocelyn, McKenna and Cameron—were her entire world. She loved them beyond measure.

Natasha is preceded in death by her grandson, Jaxton Martin, as well as her maternal and paternal grandmothers and her paternal grandfather.

She will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her home and the deep, selfless love she held for her grandchildren.

There will be a memorial service for Natasha at Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship in Osceola, IN at a later date.

Billings Funeral Home, 812 Baldwin St., Elkhart, IN 46514 is assisting the family.
