Deferiet - Martie Elliot-O’Hara, 49, of Deferiet passed away on September 30th, 2023, after a long, hard battle with addiction. 

Martie was born on April 3rd, 1974, in Watertown, New York, to Marshall Elliott and Cherie (Reynolds) Ransome. She attended Watertown City School District and obtained her GED some years after leaving school.

Martie cared deeply for all animals and held a special place in her heart for her two dogs, Andy and Lilly. She also held a strong passion for poetry, whether it was reading poems, listening to spoken-word poetry, or grabbing the nearest paper she could find to scribble down her own personal thoughts. 

Martie is survived by her children, Kyrstie Remington, Jerimiah Recor, Courtney D’Ambrosi of Turin, and Timur O’Hara of New Breman; her loving mother, Cherie Ransome; her siblings, Kellie Moore of Colorado, and Daniel Elliott of Pensacola, Florida; and her two beloved dogs, Andy and Lilly. 

Martie is predeceased by her father, Marshall Elliott.

Martie’s family loved her to the very depths of their souls and supported her through her ups and downs as she struggled with the drug epidemic that has plagued so many individuals and families in recent years. She is now at peace; she will be deeply missed by all.
