Hello, I’m Kelley and I’m here to ask for help in burying our dear lifelong friend, Martha Sparks Dougherty. She passed away unexpectedly on July 8th, 2025. Martha had many health issues like Lupus, MS, COPD, Asthma, Seizures, Strokes, and other issues that were caused by the Lupus. She needed help caring for herself. She was frequently falling and breaking bones and used a cane for support. The A/C quit working in her trailer and due to the high heat temperatures and health issues, Martha lost her life. She did have a small amount of life insurance to help with her burial, but due to her health problems, they wouldn’t allow her the amount she needed to cover all expenses. Her family has 30 days to come up with the remaining balance for the Newcomer Funeral Home and they simply don’t have it. Martha was a beautiful soul. Everyone that knew her knew that, and this is not something that any family should have to struggle with after losing a loved one. Please everyone, let’s try and help them out! Anything you can give will help! Thank you to everyone that finds it in their heart to donate. You can also donate directly to the Newcomer funeral home on Needmore Rd in Dayton.
