Martha Greenwell

Martha Angela Greenwell “Pete” (80) of Louisville, passed peacefully at home with her family. She was a strong woman who beat stage 4 lung cancer once. In recent years it returned for another battle, and she was ready for the fight. Dementia stepped in. She battled it for as long as she could. The physical body was tired long before she was.

She was preceded in death by; her parents, Hubert Patrick “HP” and Etta J. Greenwell; sisters, Beverly Moody, Patricia Lemons; Brother-in-law, Robert Moody, and two nieces Diane Ritter and Delores Redwitz.

Pete lost her lifelong best friend and chosen sister, Cheri Kirk, just over a year ago, but was fortunate enough to be loved by many other special people. Such as, her “extra” son, Johnny Hagan (Angella) and Sandy Farmer her close friend. As well as her AA home group “The Cane Run Road Group”.

She counted her blessings for being a part of the lives of her nephews, Carl Wilson, Scott Michael and Jason Kirk; her nieces, Debbie Hale, Marie Day, and Missy McMichael; Great-nieces, Nancy Burch, Angie Goodman, Cindy Ritter; great- nephews, Shawn Hale, Chad Hale, Larry Lee Ritter, Cory Burcham, Clay McMichael, and Cole McMichael.
