Obituary of Martha Jo Stamper

Please share a memory of Martha to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Martha Jo (Stone) Stamper, 79, went to be with the Lord on May 19, 2016. She is survived by Glenn, her husband of 61 years; sons Jeff (Carol), Mark (Jane), and Eric (Tracy); sister, Sue Ann Stone; seven grandchildren, Kelli (Nat Reynolds), Christopher, David (Abby), Samuel, Abbi, Eli, and Kate; and two great grandchildren, Sophi and Stella. Martha was born in Millersburg, Kentucky to Sherman and Ruby (Smart) Stone, and was preceded in death by her two brothers, Danny and Lee. She lived in Hamilton, Ohio and returned to Kentucky (Frankfort) with her family in 1970. Martha lived an exciting life! She enjoyed following her children’s athletic activities and was an art enthusiast whose paintings adorned the walls of her home. In 1991, her creative nature took her to the field of quilting and she became an active member of the Frankfort Quilt Guild. Her quilts were chosen as inaugural gifts to President and Laura Bush in 2001 and are now stored at the Library of Congress in Washington DC. Her quilts have also won awards at county and state fairs and have been featured at the Paul Sawyier Library, but her favorites, though, reside in the homes of her family. As a genealogist, Martha assisted families from around the world in connecting their lineage as it pertained to Kentucky. Her smile and zest for life will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Services will be held at Rogers Funeral Home, Frankfort, Ky. on Wednesday, May 25th at 2:00 p.m. with visitation preceding at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow in the Frankfort Cemetery. Flowers are welcomed, while contributions are appreciated to the Alzheimer’s Association or Hospice of the Bluegrass.
