Martha Ann was a retired secretary for the WV Department of Health and Human Resources and served on the Wayne Town Council for eight years. She was also a devout member of the Wayne Baptist Church and volunteered for Habitat for Humanity as well as Hospice of Huntington.
Her children and grandchildren were the loves of her life, and she never missed an opportunity to support them in various activities.

Martha Ann was a "Gaga" to all, young and old.
Her family would like to extend a special heart felt thank you to the SMMC nursing staff on units ER, Telemetry 1, and Open Heart ICU for their exemplary care and constant compassion for Martha Ann and her family.
