Martha “Sissy” Hain Park passed away peacefully on October 20, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones. Sissy was born on May 17, 1935 to Bernice Adams Hain and Joseph H. Hain in Hull Daisetta, Texas. When she was seven her family moved to Beaumont. She attended Catholic schools, transferring to Beaumont High School in her freshman year. There, she made a circle of friends who all remained close throughout the rest of their lives. A thoughtful and devoted friend, Sissy was instrumental in keeping their “CLUB” together, through regular visits, luncheons and phone calls. She was a loyal and loving friend to all those lucky enough to know her. Sissy lived a full and productive life sustained by her Catholic faith. Her sunny personality and her gentle sense of humor made every gathering fun.

Sissy attended the University of Texas where she was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. After returning to Beaumont, she married her beloved Jim. Their love affair lasted nearly 70 years. He was her devoted friend and companion throughout their marriage. Sissy loved spending time with Jim and her family. She also cherished the happy times and countless memories spent at their lovely beach home on the Bolivar Peninsula.
