In Loving Memory of a Cherished Friend Marilda Ann French, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on the early morning of September 28th leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unbreakable bonds.

Born on February 15, 1976, Marilda dedicated her life to her family, raising four incredible children who were the pride of her life. As the years went on, her heart only grew fuller with the arrival of her grandchildren, each of whom she adored beyond measure.

Marilda will be remembered for her warm spirit, fierce loyalty, and the way she made everyone feel seen and loved. Her laughter could fill a room, and her presence made every place feel like home.

She is survived by her parents Lloyd and Drenda Pittman, her husband, Michael French, four children: Austin, Kyle (Nikki), Hailey & Riley and her treasured grandchildren, Kainen, Hudson, Kinlee, Becklyn, Brennan, Jameson, Abel, Andres, Adrian, Joey and Levi; siblings, Meshon Pittman, Vanessa Thacker and LaVoy Jones; she had countless friends who were blessed to be part of her world. Though she is no longer with us in body, the memories she created, the stories, the smiles, and the love she shared will live on forever. To know her was to love her. And to be loved by her was one of life's greatest gifts.

Her family will receive friends 11AM-3PM, CST, Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

Funeral Service 3PM, CST, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, in the funeral home chapel with Pastor Corey Blevins and Pastor Chris Turner officiating. Interment to follow at Griffith Creek Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to the funeral home towards her final expenses.
