Patsy Marling

Patsy Joyce Marling quietly closed her eyes on Friday June 12, 2020 and departed this temporary home here on earth to begin her new life in Heaven with her Lord and Savior and many of her departed family and friends. "Honey" "Pat "or "Patty" as most knew her was a devoted Christian, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Friend. She loved her family and friends with all of her being and if she loved you, you knew it. She was generous with her love and affection and kind words of encouragement. Pat never met a stranger and would make instant friendships with total strangers. Her standard questions were do you want to join me for bible study or do you know my daughter Starla?

She was married to the love of her life Robert E. Marling, "Bobby" for 51 years, together they built a life of love and adventure. All things water, the sea, and the lake were a big part of their life together and the source of adventures. Sailing together and with friends opened the door to many new friendships and many wonderful experiences that most can only dream about. They made memories that will be cherished forever. Not many people get to experience the kind of love and devotion that these two shared. She also loved to work in the yard with her many beautiful plants and enjoyed feeding and watching all the birds and squirrels. She found Joy in so many things, big and small. Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren were some of her biggest Joys; she was their biggest cheerleader never missing an opportunity to spend time with them. The pictures all over her home reflected her love for them. Known as Honey to the grandkids she treasured that name and most all of their friends called her Honey as well and she was tickled to be their Honey too.
