It is with deep sadness and profound love that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Mardi “Mimi” Marshall. She departed from this world peacefully at the age of 89 on September 16, 2025, surrounded by her family at home.

Her childhood home was a place of love, laughter, and comfort. She lived a life of grace, kindness, and dedication to her loved ones. She was the heart of her family, whose warmth, wisdom, and steady presence shaped the lives of all who knew and loved her.

Mardi will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her unwavering strength, her devotion and deep Faith, and her ability to make those around her feel cherished. She found joy in the simple things; it is her legacy of love that will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to have known her.
