Martha Stewart’s Mother Dies
Martha Stewart’s mother, Martha Kostyra – who was known as Big Martha – has died at age 93.
Kostyra, who died on Friday, often appeared with her daughter on television offering expert cooking instruction. Martha Stewart called her “my favorite guest” and said she led an “amazing life.”
“I am very sad to tell you that my mom passed away,” Martha Stewart, 66, wrote on her blog Saturday, posting video clips of them together. “Here’s a tribute to Martha Kostyra – Big Martha.”

First Jane Seymour’s mom dies, then Marie Osmond’s father dies, then Kanye West’s mother dies, and now Martha Stewart. It’s like an epidemic of celebrity sorrow.
Very interesting website. Lots of content to explore. Great job!
