Sharon Kaye Martin, 74, of Irving, Texas passed peacefully into the hands of her Heavenly Father on July 11, 2020.
Born on June 6, 1946 in Haskell, Texas to Vera Lee and Hollis Webb, Kay (as she was known to friends and family) grew up in Abilene and graduated from Abilene High School in 1964.
Kay had a long career as an administrative assistant at the UT Southwestern Medical School and was a member of Plymouth Park Baptist Church. Her church family and many friends supported her throughout her eight-year battle with cancer. Called a "CAR-T cell pioneer and very brave Myeloma warrior" by her oncologist, Dr. Larry Anderson, Kay fought through each stage of her disease with grace and a wonderful attitude.
Kay is survived by her son, Randy Glassburn and a group of close cousins: Althea Wood, Lanette Callaway, and Marilyn Lockhart. Kay is also survived by her lifelong friend, Lynnette Lamb.
She will be laid to rest in Willow Cemetery in Haskell, Texas.
Anyone wishing to contribute to a memorial in Kays honor, may give to the Plymouth Park Baptist Church.
