She was predeceased by her parents, husband, brother Raymond George, sister D. Yvonne Jones, grandson Anthony Oyler, son-in-law Gerald Cunningham, mother- and father-in-law Ervin and Gay Martin, and brother-in-law Richard Martin. She graduated from McComb High School in 1944 where she was captain of the girls’ basketball team, President of the Girl Reserve Club, and Class Poet. Widowed at just 33 years of age with six children ranging in age from 2 to 11 years, she exemplified hard work, perseverance and unwavering faith. She attended Ohio Wesleyan, Bowling Green State University, and, after her husband’s death, received her teaching certificate from Findlay College in 1962. She was a substitute teacher and tutor in McComb Schools for 12 years. She was the Director of the McComb Migrant School held in the McComb United Methodist Church from 1968-1974, where she was also a teacher, and then helped transition the area migrant program into the public school system. She later worked for the State of Ohio Bureau of Employment Services–Workers Compensation, Administrative Services, as an EEO Compliance Officer, and monitored/audited state JTPA grant monies in various Ohio counties. She retired in 1996 at the age of 70. She had been very active in the community, serving as PTO President at McComb Local Schools, Secretary of the McComb Pre-Harvest Festival Committee, Parade Marshall, and Chairman of the Queen and Talent Show Committee. She was a member of the McComb Mother’s Study Club, the Philomath Club from 1956-2009, President of McComb Federated Women’s Clubs and Pinochle Club. She was most proud of her political affiliations. She was the first female Hancock County Jury Commissioner, and the first Chairwoman of the Hancock County Republican Women’s Organization during which time she was honored to have had tea with Mrs. Nixon and dinner with President and Mrs. Nixon. She also served on the Blanchard Valley Hospital Association Board of Trustees from 1977-1980. She was a member of the McComb United Methodist Church where she had been a Sunday school teacher, Bible school teacher, and youth group teacher. She was a prolific writer and especially enjoyed writing poetry, having frequently been published in the Celebrations section of The Courier. She also enjoyed playing the piano, even composing her own songs, and her children have many fond memories of her playing piano until they fell asleep at night. She will always be remembered for making all holidays special, and especially for her love of Christmas. She kept her tree up year-round. Her favorite color was red, and everyone is encouraged to wear red at her Memorial Service which will be held at HARTLEY-HANNEMAN FUNERAL HOME in McComb on Monday, July 24, at 11 a.m. with Rev. David Yinger officiating. Interment will follow in the McComb Union Cemetery. Visitation will be from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, July 23, 2017.
