Barbara Ann Martin, age 78 of Morgantown, KY, a cherished sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on Friday, March 13, 2026, at the Medical Center in Bowling Green, KY. Born on January 19, 1948, in Warren County, Kentucky, Barbara's life was a testament to the joy of simple pleasures and the enduring strength of family.
