Vickie A. Martin

Vickie A. Martin, 52, of Free Union, departed this life on Monday, September 27, 2010, at her home after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

She was born on April 20, 1958, in Charlottesville, the daughter of Randolph Earl Martin and the late Delphia Bethel Martin.

Vickie was an assistant with a local investment firm, who graciously supported her throughout her illness.

Vickie was a loving sister and supportive aunt who leaves us with many fond memories of her passion for life.

In addition to her father, she is survived by her loving companion, John Clouser of Locust Grove; a sister, Connie Brock of Free Union; a brother, Randy Martin and his companion, Cindy Gillies, of Free Union; and a niece, Jennifer Brock of Free Union. And last but not least, her faithful dog Bailey.

A graveside funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Friday, October 1, 2010, at the Free Union Baptist Church Cemetery with Pastor Don Hellms officiating.

The family will receive friends from 6 until 7:30 p.m. Thursday, September 30, 2010, at the Hill and Wood Funeral Home.

The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to St. Judes Hospital, 3812 North Lauderdale, Memphis, TN 38105.

The family expresses special thanks to Hospice of the Piedmont, Dr. William Grosh, and her employers at Quad-C Management for their compassionate care and many kindnesses.
