Mrs. Martha Elizabeth Sisson, age 79,
joined her heavenly Father on Sunday, December 29th.
She was the daughter of
the late Ernest and Eloyce Bromley and was born on January 31, 1940 in
Florence, Alabama. She is survived by William (Gene), her loving husband of
sixty-two years and her three children. With unconditional love and affection,
Mrs. Sisson raised her family and adored them with all her heart. Mrs. Sisson’s
children, Bill, husband of Cindy Sisson, Susan, wife of Jeff McCluskey, and
Lori, all grew up with a mother, who loved them and showed them how to love the
Lord. She was an active member of the University Baptist Church in Huntsville,
AL for 50 years. Her last years were spent at the Capshaw Baptist Church in
Capshaw, AL not only worshipping the Lord but also arranging for monthly senior
adult fellowships with devotion and love for her church. She actively served
for many years in the East Limestone community with various fundraising activities,
the PTA, and ELHS band club. She was also a member of the DAR. Her faith and
love of God is evident in her grandchildren Jacob, Will, Brooke, and Matt. Mrs.
Sisson is also survived by two great-grandchildren Ainsley and Cason. From
baking cookies for her grandchildren, to playing fun and memorable Christmas
Eve games, Mrs. Sisson’s home was filled with love. Some of Mrs. Sisson’s
favorite hobbies consisted of reading, painting, watching Hallmark movies, and
playing with her precious Yorkshire Terrier, “Max”. The things most dear to
Mrs. Sisson’s heart were her faith in God and her caring family. Those who were
touched and uplifted by her life will miss her sorely.
Visitation will be 10
until 11am Saturday at Spry Funeral Home in Athens, AL on with a private
graveside service at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Iron City, Tennessee.

Mr. Sisson, Bill (& sisters): I have many fond memories of Mrs Sisson while we were living next to you all in the old neighborhood. She was always so sweet to me and I remember she made good cookies too. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. But I know that Heaven is rejoicing to welcome her home... please know that you will remain in our prayers. Lee Ann (Armstrong) Akers and family
