Martha Ann Yarbrough A Woman of Strength, Faith, and Endless Love Reposed in the Lord – 07/19/2025 With deep sorrow and abiding faith in the Lord, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and friend, Martha Ann Yarbrough, who peacefully reposed in the Lord early this morning. Martha was a woman whose life reflected unwavering strength, grace through hardship, and the purest kind of love. Through every trial life set before her, she stood firm — a provider, a nurturer, and a fierce advocate for her family. She worked tirelessly, often in difficult jobs, to ensure that her children never went without. Even in the hardest times, she gave all she had — and more. With grit and determination, Martha earned an academic scholarship and put herself through college to become a registered nurse. Her courage lifted her family out of a struggling neighborhood and into a new chapter of hope and possibility. Her efforts were not only practical — they were transformative. She loved without conditions. Through our darkest mistakes, she stood beside us. She believed in us when we couldn't believe in ourselves. Martha was loved by many — her warmth and humor endeared her to everyone she met, including friends, bandmates, and neighbors, who often remarked on how "cool" and welcoming she was. In her later years, Martha endured profound health struggles — including Rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, heart attacks, and ultimately Alzheimer’s. Through it all, she remained brave and steady. Her final battle was long, but she met it with the same quiet courage that defined her life. Martha lived a life guided by her faith. Though imperfect like us all, she leaned on the Holy Spirit and sought to follow God’s path with sincerity. We trust with full hearts that she is now in heaven, praying for us and loving us from above. She was the matriarch and rock of our family — our protector, our wisdom, and our home. Her legacy is love, and it will endure in all of us forever. Survived by: • Her sons: David Yarbrough and Jeffrey Yarbrough • Her sister: Susan Hall and Mike Hall • Her brother: Larry Williams • Her grandchildren: Nikita Getmanshchuk and Cody Ballard • Her daughter: Constantina Yarbrough • Her nieces: Becky Gooch and Katie Johnson • Her sister-in-law: Janie Bruce • And many more cherished family members and dear friends
