Marsha Linn Homyk (née McClung), of Flower Mound and Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away on August 13, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on July 24, 1947, in Vallejo, California, she lived a life marked by dedication to education and devotion to her family.
Marsha was a 1965 graduate of Rogers High School in Rogers, Arkansas. She and David Nicholas Homyk were married April 29, 1967, and traveled the world as David served in the United States Air Force. Marsha earned her bachelor’s degree from Midwestern State University and spent two decades shaping young minds as a teacher with Burkburnett Independent School District. One of the final hires of the great principal Overton Ray, she taught first grade at John G. Tower Elementary for Mr. Ray, and then English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), leaving a lasting impact on countless students through her commitment to learning and language. Her ESOL career at Tower Elementary, Hardin Elementary, Evans Elementary, and Burkburnett Junior High Schools reflected a deep belief in the power of education and the importance of language in creating community. She retired from teaching in 2008.
