Every year, the woman would cook a meal for soldiers in memory of her martyred son.
"Every" needs to be followed by singular nouns and verbs: every book is, NOT every books are
"would cook"=past habitual: this tense stresses that the action is repeated
"votive offerings" and "offerings" are given directly to God, not to soldiers
Here, I am using "martyred" as an adjective.
She seems like a wonderful person. I'm glad you wrote about her.
