Obituary For Mary Tyroshia Martin

Mary Tyroshia Martin transitioned from this earthly life to eternal life on Friday, March 25, 2022, at SOVAH Health-Martinsville. Born May 1, 1953, in Virginia, she was the daughter of Raymond Leon Hairston, Sr. and Delores Moyer Hairston who preceded her in death.
