*Obituary
Martha Virginia Lacy, of Benton, age 90 was joyously welcomed into the arms of her Lord Jesus Christ on Friday, April 25, 2008. Born in Bearden, Arkansas she was saved at an early age and devoted her life to God, her church, and her family. Many lives were changed and touched through her dedication to teaching Sunday school and other tasks at her church. Martha worked several years in the Benton School system as a cook, and then later worked 27 years at Saline Memorial Hospital in the same capacity. She dedicated herself in preparing food for patients and others by never missing a day of work.
She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Linnie Bell Vaughan and four brothers, Homer, Coby, Pete and Jessie Vaughan.
Missing her smile and love is her husband of 67 years, Randolph Lacy and sister Marguerite Keenan of Benton.
