Martha Marie Van Reeth

Martha (Marty) Van Reeth, 89, passed into our Lord's hands July 16, 2025. Survived by her devoted husband of 67 years Jack; sons, Jack Jr. (Toni), Todd (Eve); daughter, Susie (Chris) Hanrahan; and sisters, Mary Cohagan and Velma Higginbotham. Loving grandmother to Erica (McKinley), Jessica, Erin (Jacob), Avery, Austin, Casey, and Ava; and great grandmother to Nimue and Alamaya. She is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Mildred Cohagan; foster parents, Floyd and Maxine Hill; stepmother, Mickey; brothers, Buddy Cohagan, Dwight Cohagan, Kenneth Havens, and Ronnie Hill; and sisters, Betty Nave and Karma Lamb. Marty got her teaching certificate from Muskingum college where she met the love of her life, Jack. She taught on and off while her children were young, then went to work as a bank teller, eventually becoming Vice President of Commercial & Savings Bank in Millersburg, Ohio. She was a devoted (and sometimes reluctant) coach's wife, a fiercely loving mother, adoring grandmother, and protective sibling. She collected friends everywhere she went in life with her smile, humor, and outgoing personality. In addition to spending time with family and friends, she enjoyed reading and movies, constantly redecorating her house, and winning at cards. Special thank you to Ohio's Hospice of Central Ohio for their wonderful care and support, especially Dani. And with special thanks also to her loving caregivers, Yaye Thomas and Kia Thiam. A Celebration of Life open house will be held September 20, 2025, from 2:00-5:00pm at 6305 Lakeview Circle, Canal Winchester, Ohio 43110. Day Funeral Service is honored to serve the family of Martha Van Reeth.
