Marjorie "Marty" Vaughn Obituary (1946 - 2017)

Marjorie, "Marty" Vaughn, 70, lovingly known by many as Mama Marty, passed away on Wednesday, March 1st, 2017. Marty was born on December 24th, 1946. She was raised in Slaughters, KY and recently resided in Hanson. She worked as a loyal employee of Wells Orthodontics for 33 years. Marty was an active member of First Christian Church, where she was an elder and chaired many committees. She was involved in The Walk to Emmaus and The Great Banquet in many ways. In addition, she served on the board at the Door of Hope. Marty is preceded in death by her parents, Gene Nelson (Nora), Bette Eastwood (Ron) and sister, Jarrett Eastwood. She is survived by her beloved husband and soul mate, Barry; daughter, Kelly Hawkins; sons, Jon Nance and Matt Vaughn (Julie); brother, Bruce Nelson (Phyllis) and sisters, Jennie Coyle (Barry) and Rhonda Beard (Joe); eight grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Marty loved to visit the Smokey Mountains with her family each year. She also loved the beach. Being a Christmas Eve baby, it was fitting that Marty loved Christmastime. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends, usually over a big meal that she more than likely prepared. Ensuring everyone around her was well taken care of, she was thought by many to be the, 'Hostess with the Mostest.' Visitation for Marty will be from 11-1 pm Saturday, March 4th at First Christian Church. The Memorial Celebration will follow at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Capital Campaign at First Christian Church or West KY Hospice of Owensboro, KY.
