Martha P Riggleman Obituary

Middleburg – Martha P. Riggleman, 63, of Dock Hill Road, passed away on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.

Born on May 26, 1962, in Tyrone, she was the daughter of the late Clair and Fannie (McEwen) Riggleman.

Martha spent much of her career with Ace Hardware in various locations and, more recently, served as a manager at Lowe’s in Selinsgrove. She was known for her strong work ethic, leadership, and positivity.

A graduate of Tyrone schools, Martha later pursued vocational training, always striving to grow and excel—especially in a field often dominated by men. She was a loving and devoted mother to her two sons, and a loyal, compassionate “puppy-grandma” to the many dogs who shared her life. Her home was always filled with warmth, kindness, and the joyful chaos of kids and pets.

Before becoming ill, Martha was full of energy and had an undeniable zest for life. She will be remembered as a light to so many. To Martha, there were no strangers—only friends she hadn’t met yet. Her compassion for others and willingness to help anyone she could is a testament to how good her heart truly was.

She adored her sons, Nader "Adam" and Noah, with every fiber of her being. Her favorite pastime was trying to embarrass them with spontaneous singing, dancing, or saying whatever she could to get a reaction—something they both secretly loved and will miss more than words can say.

Martha is survived by her sons, Nader “Adam” Zamamiri of Middleburg and Noah Y. Zamamiri of Pittsburgh; her brother, Kenny Riggleman; five sisters: Dona (Dick) Lightner, Ruth Steel, Renee Woomer, Clara Riggleman, and Jeanette Albert; as well as many nieces and nephews whom she loved and cherished as her own.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Jack Stuart and Daniel “Boone” Riggleman, and a sister, Marjorie Davies.

Martha will be remembered for her fierce love of family, her generosity, and her unwavering dedication to those she cared for.
