Notes:

Ruth Ann Martin Lundy, 79, of Johnson City, went home to be with her Lord on Friday morning, February 15, 2019, at Greystone Healthcare Center following a three-week battle with cancer.
Ruth spent her younger years growing up in Siam until her teens when the family moved to Johnson City. She was a graduate of Science Hill High School and went on to complete her LPN and RN, and BSN at East Tennessee State University. Ruth or "Ruth Ann" started out her career as a Candy Striper and then as an LPN at the old Johnson City Memorial Hospital. Throughout her career she taught nursing and was the Assistant Director of Nursing at The Christian Village. She worked for many years as a Psyche Nurse, starting at Watauga Mental Health and then Woodridge. She would later move to help start the Psyche Unit at Northside Hospital in Johnson City where she retired.
Ruth loved to play cards, travel and shop. In her later years she had two special pets, Cocoa and then Roxie. We have no doubt they were waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge. She was a gifted singer and song writer bringing much comfort and joy to others. She freely sang for friends, family, and church congregations. Her original songs were angelic and provided her some peace as well as others who were fortunate enough to hear them.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Sizemore Martin Sr. and Helen Roberta Shell Martin, and a brother, Thomas S. Martin Jr., of Johnson City.
She is survived by her daughter, Penny Ogletree (Paul) of Blountville; brother, Fred Martin (Diane) of Sevierville; niece, Alison Martin-Creed (Robert) of Arlington; and nephew, Alan "Lanny" Martin (Katie) of Knoxville.
