Martha “Marty” Tankersley Tribute
February 18, 1957-August 9, 2021
Yesterday we had the privilege to honor the nursing career of Marty Tankersley. Marty graduated from nursing school in April of 1978. Marty’s first nursing job was at Garrad Memorial Hospital. Marty started her nursing journey with Ephraim McDowell Health in 1996 and served EMH until her retirement in 2015. Marty was known to always have a kind smile, a compassionate heart and to never complain no matter what nursing task was asked of her.
“Well done, my good and faithful servant”! Mathew 25:23
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
By: Emily Dickinson
Nurse Marty, We officially release you from your earthly nursing duties....
