One of the earliest supporters of Public Defender, the newspaper and precursor to PubDef.net, was Marti Frumhoff. Her excitement, enthusiasm, and support in those early days helped keep that short-lived and underfunded venture going for as long as it did.
But those who knew Marti know that her support for such underdog efforts was a staple of her personality and her effort to help rebuild this city which she loved. She will be missed.

Marti will be missed. She was a force that propelled the City to be better.
The City should honor her in some way.

Marti was one of the nicest, most generous, wonderful people I’ve ever met. The world, especially St. Louis, will be greatly diminished by her absence.
If anyone has any knowledge of her animals, I’ll gladly at least foster Ivy, the shepherd, for as long as it takes to finder her a proper home. If you have details on that, please contact pircher at gmail.com
