Sad News
We’ve learned that Geannie Martin has died.  Although she shared her 
journey with us for a short time over this last year, she was ever 
hopeful for a positive response at CHIPSA in addressing cancer, and 
worked hard for her own health and well-being on many levels.
She found FUUSM when she needed us to hold her in hope and healing, and 
we did, affirming her inherent worth and dignity when her confidence 
needed a boost.  Great appreciation to all who welcomed her and offered 
support.
It was a joy to meet her and discuss the important aspects of life and 
meaning.  I delighted in her renewed spirit, embodied in the vibrant 
yellow VW bug she drove across the great distance (from the Pomeroy 
area) to be with us on Sunday mornings and beyond.
Her educational background was in information technology and networking 
and she earned a degree and worked in the School of Education at 
University of Rio Grande, OH.  She was the sole proprietor and genius of 
Fairleigh Farms, a woman-owned commercial and retail grower of landscape 
plants and perennials.  Gean will be mourned and greatly missed.
Geannie had great ideas and the drive to implement them.  She offered 
her skills to FUUSM as a "creative problem solver with the ability to 
increase productivity, reduce costs, improve morale and customer 
satisfaction".  May we inspired by her time and presence among us, and 
do the same.  In the end, her energy waned and she could not do all she 
wanted to do.    We will remember her.
Your minister, Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker
First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta
