Known as "Nanny" by her grandchildren, her love of her grandchildren was unmatched by anything else in her life. Marti loved planning trips and traveling with her grandchildren to Washington DC, New York, Boston, and Denver.
Marti was a voracious reader and avid sports fan, including K-State football.

She was known as a steadfast friend to many. Marti is survived by her husband of 44 years Marvin Fairbank, their son Daniel (Katie) Fairbank, grandchildren Sally, Robert, and Susanne Fairbank, and her brother Frank (Carolyn) Keller.
