 Martha "Barty" Ferguson, 64, of 
	Huntington, passed away Saturday, May 15, at the Emogene Dolin Hospice House 
	in Huntington after a two year battle with Mesothelioma. Barty was born in 
	Saginaw, Michigan.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Elsie 
	Mattingly and her younger sister Patricia Mattingly. Barty is survived by 
	her husband of 42 years, Greg Ferguson.  She is also survived by her three 
	sons and daughters-in-laws, Ben and Morgan Ferguson of Lexington, KY, Brad 
	and Kelli Ferguson, of Huntington, and Dr. Brian and Brittany Ferguson of 
	Proctorville, OH. Barty is also survived by seven beautiful grandchildren,

	Vada, and Jagger Ferguson of Proctorville. Surviving Barty also are her 
	siblings Marsha Mattingly and Michael Poe, Mary Ann Schwartz, Bill and 
	Cissie Mattingly, Mike Mattingly. Barty was talented in so many ways. Her 
	creativity brought life to others. From sewing, quilting and embroidery to 
	photography, scrapbooking and bow making, you always knew it was a Barty 
	masterpiece. She made everything seem easy and always encouraged those 
	around her they could do it too. Not only did she create her pieces from 
	scratch, she put hard work, lots of time, and pure love into each one she 
	made. There are lots of "Barty Things" in several people’s homes that will 
	carry her legacy for years to come. Barty was a loving daughter, sister, 
	Mother, Grandmother, and wife, she will be missed by her family.   A 
	Celebration of Barty's Life will be held on 
	Saturday, May 22 at 1 pm at the Reger Funeral Chapel, Huntington. 
	Visitation will be from 11am until time of service at the Reger Funeral 
	Home.
