Caye Lynn (Cearley) Martin, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2025, in Yukon, Oklahoma, at the age of 70. She was born on January 11, 1955, in El Paso, Texas, to the Cearley family, and went on to live a life marked by compassion, grace, and devotion to those she loved.

Caye dedicated her career to caring for others as a neonatal intensive care nurse (RN), where her skill, kindness, and gentle spirit touched countless lives. Outside of her work, she found joy in the beauty of the world-gardens filled with flowers, elegant things, and the color navy blue, which she loved. She had a sweet tooth for desserts and an even sweeter soul.

She is survived by her loving husband, Kirby Martin; her daughters, Crystal Crawford and Kinsey Martin; her cherished grandson, Cameron Crawford; and her brothers, James Cearley and Charles Cearley.

Caye will be remembered for her warmth, her beautiful smile, her sense of style, and her unwavering love for her family-especially the way she reminded her daughters every day that she loved them "with all her heart." Her presence was a gift, and her memory will continue to shine brightly in the lives of those who knew her.

The family request in lieu of flowers memorial donations be made to Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association at https://cmtausa.org/.

Caye's life will be celebrated with private family services.
