Martha Ann Campbell

Ms. Martha Ann Campbell, 73, of Hickman, KY passed away on January 22, 2020 at her residence.

Martha Ann was Executive Director of the Hickman Chamber of Commerce and previously was Director of Community Development, Section 8 Housing.  She was a member of the former Church of Christ in Hickman.

She was born in Hickman, KY on June 8, 1946 to the late Hoyt Barnett and the late Minnie (Cravens) Dunn. 

Martha Ann is survived by her son, Jeffery (Jill) Edwards of Allen, TX; brothers, Larry “Bubba” (Lisa) Barnett of Katy, TX, David Moore of Scott City, MO and grandchildren, Mary Katherine Edwards, Carter Edwards and Tom Edwards all of Allen, TX, and a nephew Aaron Barnett of Texas.

Martha Ann always promoted Hickman and its heritage. Of her many accomplishments for Hickman three stand out as her favorites:  the Carnegie Museum, putting up the Christmas decorations, and the beautiful Sea Wall Murals. She took pride in each of these but her favorite was the Sea Wall Murals.  Martha Ann had a vision for making downtown Hickman beautiful so she spearheaded the project with the Hickman Chamber of Commerce. She contacted the Corp of Engineers for  permission, pursued the support of the citizens of Hickman and former citizens of Hickman to sponsor a mural, found a wonderful artist to paint them and of course you could always find Martha Ann at the sea wall helping in any way she could. 

If Martha Ann’s life had to be summed in one sentence it would be: She loved HICKMAN!! Martha Ann will be missed by her family and many friends.

Memorial services will be held at Strong Funeral Home on Sunday, January 26, 2020 at 2:00 P.M. with Rev. James Roberson officiating.  Visitation will be held on Sunday, January 26, 2020 from 12 noon until service time at 2:00 P.M.

Expressions of sympathy may be made to the Hickman Chamber of Commerce, 808 Moscow Ave., Hickman, KY 42050 for the perseverance of the Sea Wall Murals.
