Martha Joan Cochrun

COCHRUN Martha Joan Cochrun was born, June 25, 1929 one of 7 children, and was called by the angels from heaven on July 30 after a beautiful life at the age of 85. She loved out fishing the “boys”, was known far and wide for her mashed potatoes and ribs, and enjoyed winning the family competition for best tomatoes. She traveled the world, but loved her flower beds and cutting grass at her home the most. She lived life to the fullest, loved to laugh and was known to do a crazy thing or two to make others. She never knew a stranger and had a big heart (although we all knew it belonged to her beloved Jack Russell, Bobby). She loved her family and was proud to say she was the matriarch of five generations. She enjoyed talking about growing up in a loving home over onion and mustard sandwiches with her sister Nancy. She laughed through her pain with the angel on earth – Debbie Sharp; and adored the time spent with Jerry and Toni Perkins telling jokes. She adored her family and her friends who would be too numerous to count. Martha was preceded in death by her loving husband of 25 years Jack Cochrun. She is survived by sister Nancy “Jane” Tumeo; daughter Judi (Donnie) Pendleton; son Stan (Maryjane) Reeves; son Jim Reeves; daughter Pam Macgregor; Grandchildren Jody Lambert, Brandy Murphy, Kelly Pendleton, Jacque Phillips, Aimee Reeves, Natalie Reeves, Mike Reeves; Great Grandchildren Kally Markeson, Shawna Lambert, Marissa Lambert, Maddie Pendleton, Noah Klubek, Shiloh Klubek, Morgan Klubek; Great Great Grandson Silas Markeson V; beloved nieces and nephews (including her favorite; you know who you are).
