Martha Lynch Hogan

Martha Lynch Hogan, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, died peacefully at her home on October 28, 2026 at the age of 86, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 14, 1940 in Glens Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late J. Arthur Lynch and Angela Flynn Lynch.

She graduated from Warrensburg Central School in 1958, and from The College of St. Rose, Albany, NY in 1962 with a B.A. and M.A. in Education. After graduation, she taught elementary school in Lindenhurst, East Greenbush, NY and Durham, NC. On January 13, 1968, she married Dr. Michael T. Hogan at St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls, NY. Together, they raised two children and built a life filled with Sunday drives, family dinners, and summers on Glen Lake and Lake George. Her children were the center of her world, and their lives were enriched by her lifelong devotion, constant companionship and unconditional love.

Martha was an avid reader who always had a book nearby and was an active member of the Delphian Book Club. Throughout her life, she cultivated many deep and lasting friendships, and was known for her genuine interest in others. One of her greatest joys was Disney. Martha loved the magic of the parks and the time spent there with her family. Martha worshiped at St. Mary Roman Catholic Church and was a devoted Catholic whose faith shaped every part of her life. She volunteered throughout the Morgantown community with the Service League, Girl Scouts, and Catholic Daughters.

She is survived by her husband Michael, daughter Colleen Hogan Clark (Michael) of Annapolis, MD, son Daniel (“Danny”) and grandchildren Caitlin, Colin and Connor Clark, and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
