Martha Hughes

Martha Wincie Hughes, 88, passed away Sunday, March 7, 2021, in Conway, Arkansas. She was born August 1, 1932, in Five Mile, Arkansas, near Heber Springs, to Boyd Lynn Davis and Edna Cora Sizemore Davis. After graduating from Henderson State Teachers’ College in 1954, she married her college sweetheart Joe Charles Hughes who precedes her in death.

She spent 20 years as a proud Army spouse making homes for her family in Texas, Germany, Washington, Panama, and Maryland. After finally settling her family back in Arkansas, she actively participated in her church Lakewood UMC and PEO, all the while baking award-winning pies. Her family was proud of her blue ribbons from the Arkansas State Fair and her awards from 2 national Crisco pie-baking competitions. You were blessed, indeed, if you ever tasted one of Wincie’s pies.

Wincie was a mother and grandmother extraordinaire and will be greatly missed by daughter Jo Carol Ciborowski (husband Phil) of Colorado Springs, CO; son Dave Hughes (wife Rebecca), and daughter Lea Ann Hughes both of Maumelle, Arkansas. She adored her grandsons Nolen (Jennifer), Andy (Kirsten), and Aaron (Lindsey) Hughes, and her granddaughters Lauren (Ben) and Delaney Ciborowski. She treasured equally her great-grandchildren: Asher, Kobe, Maeve, Malachi, Wyatt, Callie and Felix, with another great-granddaughter arriving in May. She is also survived by her siblings Elmer Davis and Esta Dacus, her brother-in-law David (Robin), niece Joyce Fulmer (Ron), former daughter-in-law Krista Hughes, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will follow at a later date.
