Martin Franks Reagan, 93, formerly of Uniontown, PA, passed away peacefully Monday, May 22, 2023 in McCandless Township, PA. He was born January 17, 1930 and spent the majority of his life in Uniontown.
Marty was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Marie (Franks) Reagan and his spouse Sharlene E. (Starke) Reagan.
He was a graduate of South Union High School Class of 1948 and a retiree from Westinghouse Nuclear Division in Forest Hills, PA. Marty was quick to remind others that he had been retired from Westinghouse longer than he had worked there! Marty served his country and local community as a Marine Corps veteran, having served during the Korean War, was a dedicated South Union Twp. Fireman, trustee and held the offices of both Vice President and President, was a Democratic Precinct Committee Person and South Union Twp. Auditor among other community services too numerous to mention.
On April 9th, 2020, Marty and Sharlene moved from their beloved home in Uniontown to be cared for by his stepson, Ray and his wife, Kelly, in Ingomar, PA. There, Marty wowed his family with his perfect cornhole game, walks down to the corner of the street and back, and Wednesday calls to his friends back in Uniontown. He was an avid tomato gardener and was even able to plant his garden this year. Marty adored his dachshunds, especially caring for Rusty. He loved daily calls with his “sunshine” and granddaughter, Isabelle, and bonded with grandson, Justin, over meticulously caring for and waxing his car.
Marty is survived by his brother, Harry Reagan (Barbara), former spouse, Beverly Beal and children, Debbie Berry, Marty Reagan, Jr. and Jill Humbert, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a beloved stepfather to Steve Ramey (Sue) and Ray Ramey (Kelly) and grandfather to Brittany (Levi) Tonet, Isabelle Ramey and Justin Ramey. He was a devoted dog father to his dachshund Rusty.
Even in his final days he could put a smile on the face of anyone, including the nurses and doctors who cared for him, with his quick wit, humming jingles, singing and his dancing feet. Marty was loved by all who were so lucky to know him, and he will be deeply missed.
We are sure he is going on walks with Sharlene and all of their dogs in Heaven.
