Martha White McClure

December 29, 1929 – November 17, 2025

Pompano Beach, Florida

Martha White McClure, 95, passed away peacefully at her home in Pompano Beach, Florida, on November 17, 2025. Born in Wheeling, West Virginia, on December 29, 1929, she was the daughter of Dr. T.C. and Katherine White and grew up in Barnesville, Ohio.

Martha met her future husband while attending The Ohio State University Dental School. They moved back to her hometown of Barnesville where he started a dental practice next to her father’s. Together they raised three daughters. Martha was known for her spunk, warmth, and kindness—qualities that endeared her to all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jim; her daughter, Susanna Smallcombe; and her sister, Eleanor Russell.

She is survived by her daughters Mindy (Barry) Tetrault and Pam (Chuck) Armbruster; grandchildren Brady Armbruster, Katie Bone, Jeff (Alyssa) Tetrault, Amanda Tetrault, Abby (David) Valencic, and Kyle (Emaly) Smallcombe; nephews Scott (Susan) Russell and John (Linda) Russell; and seven great-grandchildren—Zoe and Ava Bone, and Finley, Paige, Cooper, Kemper, and Laken Tetrault.

A memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family in Barnesville, Ohio.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Barnesville Education Foundation, the First Presbyterian Church of Barnesville, Barnesville Flower Baskets, or a charity of your choice.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Trustbridge Hospice and to her devoted caregivers, Tunde Gartner and Krisztina Molnar, for their compassion and care.
