Martha Ruth (Isaacs, Moore) Haney, a beloved figure in her community, left this world on March 28, 2025, at the age of 95. Born on June 19, 1929, at Elk Lick in Owsley County, Kentucky, Martha's journey through life was marked by her unwavering love for her God, her local church, family, friends, pets, flowers, music, and her home place in Kentucky, and the vibrant moments that made each day worth celebrating.
For 39 years, Martha dedicated her professional life to Elder-Beerman, where she served as an Area Manager. Her commitment, expertise, and warm spirit not only contributed to her success but also inspired those who had the privilege of working alongside her. Martha possessed a remarkable ability to connect with people, and her love for life was infectious. She sincerely loved people, bringing joy and warmth to everyone she encountered, whether in the workplace or within her cherished community.
An avid crocheter and a culinary enthusiast, Martha found joy in creating beautiful works of art through her hands and sharing delicious meals with family and friends. Her home was a gathering place, filled with laughter and the comforting aromas of her kitchen. The simple pleasures of life were never lost on her; she cherished each moment and made memories that will be forever cherished by those who knew her.
Martha loved her country and was also proud to be a member of Brandtwood Baptist Church, a testament to her faith and dedication. Her spiritual life was a significant part of her existence, and she shared her light with others through her actions and kindness.
Martha leaves behind her beloved stepson, Dave Haney, along with her step-grandchildren: Freddie Moore Jr., Suzette Ryan, Rodney Moore, Todd Moore, Travis Haney, Ashley Conley, and four step-great-grandchildren. She held a special place in her heart for her many nieces and nephews, as they each brought a unique joy to her life.
