Obituary of Martha Lyn Sales Lacy

Martha Lyn (Sales) Lacy was born September 23, 1962 into the loving arms of her parents Bill and Bettie Sales. Marty's early childhood was spent in Idaho Fall, ID. In 1972 the Sales family moved to Kennewick, WA.

At an early age Marty developed a love for horses and joined 4-H to learn horsemanship. She enjoyed showing her horses and retained this love for her entire life.

Marty attended Kamiakin High School when she met the love of her life, Timothy Lacy. She graduated in 1980. She then married Tim on May 9th, 1981. Tim and Marty moved to Benton City where they raised their two children Josh Lacy and Laura (Lacy) Bilodeaux.

Continuing her education, Marty completed a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and Development, graduating with honors. She worked as a bus driver in Benton City, a para-educator in the Richland School District, and a 4-H leader. She enjoyed Kempo Karate. Marty also played the piano. Not because she was good at it, but because she liked it.

Having a positive outlook on life, Marty considered everything, good or bad, part of the journey. She would wish peace, love, and happiness to all of her family and friends.

Marty is preceded in death by her sister Suzanne and her mother Bettie. She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Tim Lacy; children, Josh Lacy and Laura (Derek) Bilodeaux; grandchildren, Asher, Nova, Anton, and Juniper; father William Sales; brother Bill (Cheryl) Sales; and Wishes, her very loved dog.
Per Marty's wishes, there will not be a service. There will be a Celebration of her life on May 10, 2019 from 6:00 pm-10:00 pm at Clover Island Inn in Kennewick, WA.
