(April 6, 1943 — November 21, 2025)
Martha Ellen Yancy Bramlett, 82, went home to Jesus on November 21, 2025, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. Born in Morgan Mill, Texas to Albert and Arbie Yancy, Martha was a fierce competitor on the basketball court, a proud member of the Stephenville Athletic Hall of Fame, and a trailblazer who played college ball at Waylon Baptist before earning her degree from the University of Iowa.
In 1963 she married the love of her life, William Bramlett, and together they built a beautiful life filled with adventure, faith, and family. Martha was a devoted homemaker, a steadfast supporter through every move William’s career demanded, and a warm, welcoming presence who always kept an extra chair at the table for company.
Her greatest joy was teaching children the Bible and loving her family fiercely. She leaves behind her beloved husband William; daughters Sara Pybus (David) and Kelli Bramlett (Shawn Clarke); grandchildren, Claire Pybus Acosta (Rafael), Will Pybus, Kaia Montgomery, Aiden Clar‹, and Ainsley Clarke; great-grandson Rafael Roman Acosta; and a host of cherished friends and relatives.
Matha was preceded in death by her parents and siblings Glenna Hoskins and Don Yancy.
She will be remembered for her bright smile, open door, and the quiet strength that held her family together. For the last three decades that includes the church family at Cross Timbers Church of Christ. Well done, sweet Martha—rest in the arms of the Savior you loved so much
Funeral services for Martha will be at 2:00 PM, Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Stephenville Funeral Home Chapel with Wayne Hancock officiating. Burial will follow at Glenn Cemetery in Bluff Dale. Visitation with the Bramlett family will be Friday, 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Stephenville Funeral Home.
