Whitman – Martha M. (Zoobkoff) Hobill 90, died Sunday April 22 after a period of failing health. She was the beloved wife of the late George W. Hobill, Jr.
Raised in Whitman, she was the daughter of the late Trophim and Elizabeth (Osolin) Zoobkoff and a graduate of Whitman High School.
In her early years Martha had worked as a bookkeeper for the well-known C. Crawford Hollidge of Boston.
As a lifelong resident of Whitman, Martha had also worked as an assembler at the former Handy-Hannah Products of Whitman and later in the Tax Collectors office and as a teacher’s aide for the Whitman schools.
She had been a longtime and active member of the First Baptist Church of Whitman and the Immanuel Baptist Church of Brockton.
She enjoyed knitting and cooking, but her greatest joy came from the time spent with her family.
She is survived by her loving children, David Hobill of Canada, Faith Kalinowski of Maryland and Jonathan Hobill of Bourne. She is also survived by four grandchildren, one great grandchild and several nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late Edward, John and Joseph Zoobkoff.
