FOR THE PAPERMartha Naomi Berry Warlick, 85, of Morganton, passed away on Monday, May 19, 2025, at her residence following a period of declining health.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Jerry Edward Warlick; son, David Warlick and girlfriend, Kimberly Wright; and a number of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
