Marti Pike Benson

October 31, 1953 - March 17, 2020

Marti Pike Benson, age 66, of Trussville, AL peacefully passed away on March 17, 2020 due to complications from pancreatic cancer. Marti was born on October 31, 1953 to Leroy and Maudie Pike. She was raised in Birmingham and attended Banks High School where she excelled in cheerleading. After graduating from Auburn University, she married the love of her life, Ronnie Benson, on May 20, 1978 and went on to have two sons Ryan and Alex. Marti’s selflessness, contagious spirit, captivating smile, and positive outlook on life will be sorely missed by many and never replicated. Marti was the definition of a devoted Christian, caring wife, loving mom, loyal friend, and hardworking employee. She loved being outside, working in the garden, Alabama football, and spending time with family and friends. She especially loved being called in to babysit her two grandkids who affectionately referred to her as “Mama B” while she rattled off sayings and arm motions to try and describe her love for them. Marti was preceded in death by her parents Leroy and Maudie Pike and brother Charles Randall "Randy" Pike. She is survived by her husband Ronnie, her sons Ryan Benson (Amber) and Alex (fiancé Kristy Taylor), her grandchildren Adalynn Benson and Cooper Bland "C.B." Benson; and brother Lynn Pike. The family greatly appreciates the outpouring of support, calls, texts, thoughts, and prayers. Due to the extenuating circumstances society faces today, funeral arrangements cannot be made at this time. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Marti’s name to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (https://www.pancan.org/).
