In Loving Memory of Billie Jean Martin August 12, 1941 – October 20, 2026

Billie Jean Martin, a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great great-grandmother, went to be with our Lord on October 20, 2026. She loved her family and loved Jesus.

One of the things that brought her joy was collecting photographs of the people she loved. It didn’t matter that her home was already full and there seemed to be no room for another picture—she always wanted more. She wanted pictures she could hold in her hands, look at, and treasure. To her, photographs were more than just images; they were pieces of the people and moments that meant the most to her. Her love for pictures was a beautiful reflection of her love for family and her desire to hold on to the memories they made together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Chester and Ida Richards; her beloved husband, Jimmy Martin; her sons, Jimmy Martin Jr. and Kenny Martin; her brothers, Carl, R.B., Chester , Louie, and Donnie; and her sisters, Juanita, Corene, Exa, and Shirley; and a great great grandson Axton Wayne Lentz.

Her legacy of love lives on through her daughter, Sherry Edmondson and husband, Jerry; Daughter, Rhonda Edmondson; Son, Mike Martin and wife, Eve; Son, Steve Martin; and son Kelly Martin and wife Janell; Daughter-in-law Linda Martin and many other beloved family members, including 24 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and great great-grandchildren.

She will be deeply loved, forever remembered, and greatly missed. Her story lives on in every photograph, every story retold, and every memory shared by those blessed to have loved her and been loved by her. She may have loved us first , but we love her last. John 14:2-3
