Marietta J. Newcamp, 86, Atchison, Kansas, passed away Monday, August 25, 2025.
She was born June 17, 1939 in Atchison, Kansas to James and Ollie Vivian (Gilliand) Barker.
A master of embroidery, she created countless pieces of art. Her nimbleness with needle and thread was matched by her surprising skill with modern technology – Marietta was a Nintendo player. Music was another source of joy for Marietta; the songs of Elvis Presley. This love was complemented by her fondness for the animated antics of Scooby-Doo. However, it was in gathering with her family that Marietta found her greatest pleasure.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, John Newcamp; son, Michael Hitchens; great-grandchild, Peytnn Moore and Blaine Clary; siblings, Susan and James Barker.
Survivors include her children, Robert Lincoln, Vivian Moore, Monte Ball, Julie Fleming, Pauline Flesch, Eugenie Drake, and Eileen Roth; many grandchildren; siblings, Ollie May Winzer and Bill Newcamp.
