Martha Mulcahey Klink
September 12, 1948 – November 19, 2024

Martha Mulcahey Klink, 76, of Princeton Junction, New Jersey, passed away on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. Martha, known to most as Marty, was born on September 12, 1948, in Jersey City. She was the fourth of eight children, growing up in a bustling and loving home on Legion Place in Paramus, NJ. Marty graduated from Paramus High School in 1966, where she was a “twirling asset” as a Spartan Twirler and an admired “fountain of wit.”

Marty moved to Princeton, NJ, where she raised her family and led an extraordinary life of service and dedication to her family, friends, and students. She earned both a Bachelor of Science and Masters of Arts degree in Speech-Language Pathology from what is now known as The College of New Jersey (formerly Trenton State College). Marty was a passionate advocate for her students, dedicating over 25 years to the South Plainfield Public School system as a speech therapist. She made a significant impact on countless lives, especially those of her high-needs students.

Above all, Marty was an incredible mother to Tracy and Chris, offering unwavering love, guidance, and encouragement throughout their lives. She was their greatest champion, celebrating every success with joy and pride. Whether in moments of triumph or challenge, her support was constant, strength boundless, and love steadfast. Through her example of resilience, grace, and humor, she taught them not just how to face life’s obstacles but how to cherish every moment of life.

In retirement, Marty embraced her next great adventure — traveling the world. She loved exploring new places, and her most recent trip to Egypt, where she saw the Great Pyramids and rode a camel, was one of her many treasured memories. Marty was also a proud and enthusiastic Nana, cheering on her grandson, Hudson, at baseball games and celebrating the theater and art accomplishments of her granddaughter, Amelia. A voracious reader and puzzler, Marty found joy in all of life’s moments, but what she loved most was spending time with her family and friends. Whether visiting, laughing, or supporting loved ones, she always made sure to keep everyone connected.

Marty is survived by her loving children, Tracy Schmidt and Chris Schmidt, together with their beloved spouses, Mickael Cauberghs and Angelia Schmidt. She was the proud Nana to her cherished grandchildren, Hudson and Amelia. Marty is also survived by her brother Michael Mulcahey. She also leaves behind dearly loved nephews, nieces, extended family, and lifelong friends who will miss her deeply and forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

She now joins her parents, Robert and Martha Mulcahey, brothers Robert Jr. and Kevin Mulcahey, and sisters Marylou Brophy, Kathleen Diehl Spelkoman, and Margaret Smyth in eternal peace and joy.

Memorial services will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton, NJ 08542.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity that holds special meaning or reflects a memory shared with Marty.

The ones we love never truly leave us. Their love and memories live on, forever a part of our hearts.
