Obituary of Martha Eva Cusic

Martha Eva Touchstone Cusic, 79, passed away on Monday, November 13, 2023 in Lexington, Kentucky. Martha was born on December 13, 1943 to Sibyl Christine Sessions and Huey Touchstone in Meridian, Mississippi. She worked in the automotive industry and was an amazing homemaker, mother and grandmother. Martha could have been known as the OG (original gangster) of the term “FOODIE” as she loved to cook and eat! She poured through recipes and cookbooks looking for her next delicious culinary concoction!!! She had the gift of hospitality and loved sharing her home and latest food creation with others. Martha enjoyed reading her Bible and was a member of Man O War Church of God. She also loved to read novels and poetry and found joy in the small things. She loved animals, especially dogs and her dog Baxter. She always had a smile and kind word for others and her giggle was infectious. Family was very important to Martha and she had so much pride in her children and grandchildren.
