Martha Hanood

Martha Hanood, 86, of Sistersville, WV, passed away on February 14, 2025, at Sistersville General Hospital under the care of Hospice.

She was born March 9, 1938, in Paden City, WV, a daughter of the late Clyde Wells and Golda Sewell Wells.

Martha was a member of the Sistersville First United Methodist Church.  As a member of the church, she was a member of the United Methodist Women, Staff Parish Relations, Women of Faith and the Altar Guild.  Martha was a proud graduate of Sistersville High School Class of 1956. She enjoyed time with her family, going to concerts with friends and getting together with classmates.  Martha was very active in the community over the years.  She was a member of a Sistersville General Hospital Twig that raised money for the facility, a member of the Sistersville Elks Lodge #333 Emblem Club, served as the Sistersville High School Alumni Association Treasurer for many years, and served on the Sistersville General Hospital Hospice Board to name a few.

Martha never met a stranger and greeted everyone with a smile.  She never missed an opportunity to tell her children and grandchildren how extremely proud she was and how much she loved them.  Martha was a true “social butterfly” who lived life to its fullest.

She is survived by her daughter, Krista DeVaughn of Sistersville, WV; son, Danny Hanood of Greensboro, NC; granddaughters, Madison and Hali DeVaughn and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Emil Hanood; brothers, Phillip Wells, Charles (Katherine) Wells, Bert (Leona) Wells and Blake (Lesta) Wells and sisters, Mary (Brady) Smith, Helen Wells, Louise (Gene) Carr, and Betty (John) Barron.
