Martha McGlinchey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Strawser Funeral Home - Blue Ash on Feb. 12, 2026.
Martha (née Rosenacker) McGlinchey, age 86, of Cincinnati, passed peacefully in the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 11, 2026, with her family by her side.

She was the beloved mother of Kurt Joseph McGlinchey and Scott Francis McGlinchey, and the cherished grandmother of Melissa McGlinchey, David McGlinchey, and Ryan McGlinchey. She was born on October 31, 1939, to the late Frank and Cecilia (Dhonau) Rosenacker. A host of extended family members and friends remain to honor her memory and mourn her passing.

Martha dedicated many years to educating young people and retired from the Indian Hill School District. Her influence as a teacher lives in the countless students she guided-lessons passed from one generation to the next. As a mother and grandmother, she offered steady guidance, unwavering love, and a comforting presence in the moments when it was needed most.

Her faith was the foundation of her life. She found strength, purpose, and community in her long time membership at New Thought Unity Center, the organization she cherished most. Family and friends are invited to worship with her one more time at New Thought Unity Center, 1401 E. McMillan St., Cincinnati, OH 45206. On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the gathering will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by the funeral service at 1:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to New Thought Unity Center, 1401 E. McMillan St., Cincinnati, OH 45206 https://www.ntunity.org.
