Obituary
Minnie M. Martin,
101, passed away July 28, 2015 at the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House of
Huntington, after a brief illness. She was born December 31, 1913 in
Sciotoville, OH to the late John M. Isaac and Ella Crockett Isaac . She was
preceded in death by her husband John L. Martin, her daughter Janice
Beuhring (Larry) of Chesapeake, OH, brother Raymond of Leona, CA, sister
Dolly K. DeSantis of Indian Rocks Beach, FL and beloved nephew Bobby M.
Stone of Huntington. She was a retired medical secretary for the Veterans
Administration Hospital in Huntington, WV. She is survived by son Gregory,
son-in-law Larry Beuhring of Chesapeake, OH, granddaughters Karen Corns of
Titusville, FL, Beverly Thornburgh (Conrad) of Valrico, FL, and Laura
Beuhring of Denver, CO. Her great grandchildren are Sarah and Kayla Corns of
Titusville, FL, Andrew Thornburgh (Stephanie) of Lakeland, FL, Angela
Thornburgh (Ashton) of Fairfax VA and two beloved nephews, Edward Stone (Alice)of
Huntington and Charles S. Stone (Ardella) of Winter Garden, FL. A life-long
member of the Westmoreland United Methodist Church, she knew no greater joy
than participating in all aspects of church activities, especially her
circle workshop that created many hand made items to support the church’s
Fall Bazaar. She excelled and delighted in doll making. Being unable to
attend services in recent years made her very appreciative of the many cards
sent to her by her Sunday school class, the Care Team, Methodist Youth Group
and the many individuals who took the time to write her. The many visits by
her ministers, church friends, relatives and neighbors were all much
appreciated and fondly recalled. She stopped participating with her bowling
team at age 90, missing the camaraderie of her teammates very much. After
taking a painting class her interest in painting grew into more classes and
many pleasant hours of painting for her own amusement throughout her 70’s
and 80’s.
The creative process of applying paint to canvass was a joy unto itself. The
enjoyment of family, church, her circle workshop, activities and friends did
much to mold a life well lived. Funeral services will be conducted at 1 pm
Saturday at the Reger Funeral Chapel by Pastor Tom Nolan. Burial will follow
in Ridgelawn Memorial Park, Huntington. Friends may call from 6 to 8 pm
Friday at the Reger Funeral Home.
