Mattie "Louise" Marable, born on October 12, 1934, in Wedowee, Alabama, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2026. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and laughter that will forever resonate in the hearts of her family and friends.
Known affectionately as Louise, she was a woman whose nurturing spirit and generous heart made an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Louise's personality shone bright; she was endlessly funny and deeply faithful, sharing her warmth with all who crossed her path. Many cherished memories were made during the holidays when families came together, filling her home with laughter, good food, and love.
Louise was devoted to her faith, regularly attending services at United Missionary Baptist Church, where her spirit thrived among her community. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as sitting on the porch, engaging in heartfelt conversations with neighbors, and cooking for her loved ones. Louise had a special affinity for gospel music, which often echoed through her home, lifting spirits and bringing joy.
Her nurturing nature extended to her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Louise is survived by her beloved children, Martha (LC) Robinson, Marvin (Matika) Marable, Dywayne Marable, and Stephen (Rocquel) Marable. Her grandchildren—Tina, Jason, Joy, DeMarco (Janae), TJ, Ashley, Jordyn, and Autumn—were sources in a of immense pride, each carrying a piece of her loving spirit. Louise particularly delighted in the company of her great-granddaughters, Gabrielle and Raniah Marie, who brought boundless joy to her days.
Louise now rejoins her beloved parents, John and Mattie Molden, her special niece, Fannie Corbin, and several siblings, reuniting in a realm filled with love and laughter.
As we remember Louise, we celebrate a life richly lived, a heart overflowing with kindness, and the countless moments that will forever be fondly remembered by those she loved. Her legacy lives on through her family, who will continue to honor her memory by embodying the love, wisdom, and laughter that she so generously shared.
The family would also like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Walnut Creek Nursing Home and Heartland Hospice for the exceptional care and compassion they provided. Your kindness, support, and gentle presence brought comfort and dignity during a tender time.
Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 27, 2026 at United Missionary Baptist Church, 900 Lexington Ave. A service will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the church followed by burial at West Memory Gardens Cemetery in Moraine.
