Mary Agnes Martin (Ponzi) Obituary (1926 - 2018)

Mary A. Martin Born July 27, 1926 in Sayre, PA has finished the last chapter of her event filled life. She received the call on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at the Chemung County Nursing Facility and could not resist the invite. This will reunite her with her parents Cecil and Mildred Higley; brother, Thomas Higley; sister, Matte Miller; longtime companion James Casey and numerous relatives and friends. It will be a party in the sky, hosted by her God where she can dance, play Bingo cards, and eat endless MaryJane Candies. However she would not leave without leaving one more order to her family; son, Charles and Nancy Ponzi and their family, Deona, Cher Troy, Jennifer and Zack; daughter, Diane and Roy Silvers and their family, Chris, Brian and Jami; seventeen grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Linda Martin and Clara Young Higley. She will be remembered as a devote Irish Spirit and had a strong will to live and made the best of what life offered her. The family will welcome relatives and friends to Mary's Memorial Service at Sullivan's Funeral Home, 365 E. Franklin St. at Rt. 13, Horseheads, NY on Saturday, August 25, 2018 at 11AM. Special thanks to Dr. Corbalan, Hannah Foster, Cheryl Montgomery, and the CCNF staff on the second floor, and Linda Martin and Clara Higley for all the care and support given to Mary.
