Marsha Bewley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Shinn Funeral Service on Mar. 30, 2026.
Marsha Ann GoBell Bewley, age 78, of Fayetteville, embarked on her Heavenly journey on Saturday, March 28, 2026. She was born December 5, 1947, in Sioux City, Iowa. She was the beloved daughter of Maxie and Frank GoBell.

As a proud "Air Force brat," Marsha embraced a life filled with diverse experiences, calling many places home throughout her years. Her adventures took her to Iowa, Japan, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Florida, Colorado, Newfoundland, Nebraska, Massachusetts, and Arkansas, shaping her into a vibrant and adaptable spirit.

Marsha dedicated her professional life to Bright Harvest Foods, where she served as a controller before retiring in 2015. In her well-deserved retirement, she joyfully pursued her passions: savoring meals out with loved ones, expertly hunting for bargains, and conquering crossword puzzles. To be closer to her son, Marsha made her final move to Springdale, Arkansas, in 2023.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Marsha's memory will be cherished by her loving son and daughter-in-law, Aaron and Sabrina Bewley; her devoted brothers and sisters-in-law, Frank and Susan GoBell, and Jamie and Debbie GoBell.

A memorial service to honor her memory will be at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, April 4, 2026, at the Shinn Chapel, with the Rev. Don Stiles officiating. Burial will be private with arrangements by Shinn Funeral Service of Russellville.

The family will receive friends immediately following the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to the Humane Society, 14600 Colonel Glenn Rd., Little Rock, AR 72210.

Online guestbook and condolences available at www.shinnfuneral.com.
