GREENVILLE – Martha Sue Kitchens “Miss Martha”, Aunt Sue”, age 85, of Greenville, died Saturday, August 7, 2021, at 2:00AM at Owensboro Health Muhlenberg Community Hospital.  Martha was born June 22, 1936, in Muhlenberg County to the late William Thomas and Irene Emily Kitchens.  Along with her parents, Martha was preceded in death by a sister, Wilma Jean; brothers-in-law Johnny Gary, Bobby Hall, and Joe Mann; “grandson” Michael Mann; and “great-grandson” Jared Mann.

Martha was an active member of Green River Chapel Church.  She was very involved in her church.  She taught Sunday School, worked with the “Crusaders”, lead music in the children’s assembly, sang in the adult choir, and was choir leader for a while.  She also was a left-handed pitcher for GRC Women’s Softball Team.  Martha worked at Eades Bread Company and later Bunny Bread for over 40 years.  She also sold Avon for over 50 years.

Martha went on several mission trips to Jamaica.  She also loved working at Camp Martin in Graham with the kids.  She worked with Meals on Wheels.  She also was a member and past president of Central City Business & Professional Women’s Club.  Martha never met a stranger, and whenever she traveled, which she did extensively to visit family, she almost always seemed to find someone she knew from home.
