Early Tuesday morning, September 7, 2021 our precious mom was ushered into the arms of Jesus and reunited with her loving husband of 60 years, Bennie Rogers Cockman Sr. who preceded her in death in 2009. She was also preceded by her parents, Earl Cornelius and Lina Morgan Martin, grandson Benjamin Smith, brother RD Martin and sister Hazel York.
Visitation will be Friday September 10, 2021 from 6 to 8 at George Brothers Funeral Home. Graveside service will be on Saturday September 11, 2021, at 11:00 at Green Hill Cemetery conducted by Rev. Tom Bowling.
