Martha Ann

Hawhee Gahagan

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Martha Ann Hawhee Gahagan on April 14, 2025, at the age of 81. Martha was born on March 1,1944, in Lawton, Oklahoma, to Everett and Juanita Hawhee.

Martha met the love of her life and beloved husband, J.R. Gahagan. They were married for 51 years. Martha was known for her fun sense of humor, her contagious smile and laughter, and love and devotion to her family and community. Martha was a proud member of the First Baptist Church of Burkburnett.

Martha worked at Parker Square Savings & Loan, often sharing stories of her time spent there. She volunteered at Hardin Elementary and never passed up an opportunity to take on a role in the Burkburnett Community Theatre with friends. Martha loved spending her time outdoors working in her yard. Be assured, she always had a project in the making. She loved shopping for antiques, buying anything to spruce up her lawn, and sharing adventures with her son, Clay.

Martha is survived by her son, Clay Gahagan; son, Casey Gahagan and wife Renae; grandsons, Brady Gahagan and Katlyn; Bodie Gahagan and wife, Nicole; and great-grandsons, Jaxon Roger Gahagan and Clay Cole; great- grand daughters, Evie Jane and Annie Claire Gahagan. Also survived by nephew, Billy Edd Gahagan.

Celebration of Life will be held at First Baptist Church of Burkburnett on Monday, April 21, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

As Martha often shared, "We had a really good ride and tried our best."
