Martha Bilyeu Obituary
Mrs. Bilyeu was born January 6, 1940 in Cynthiana, KY. She was a member of Red River Assembly of God and was a homemaker. She was a woman of strong faith who always put God first, and her love for Jesus guided every aspect of her life. As a homemaker she was known for cooking and baking for those she loved and cared about. She adored children and treated every child she cared for in her home as if they were her own. She loved reading her Bible, sharing the word of God, and spending time with family. Her joy also extended to the beauty of nature, especially her love for hummingbirds. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, who will cherish the love and kindness she shared with all.
