New Dawn, New Day, It’s Done…

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, she became a butterfly. It is a new dawn, a new day, for her work is done here on earth. Her memories will linger forever with all who were blessed to encounter such a candid and gentle soul with a heart of gold.

Marion “Lucille” was the fourth child born to the late Marshall, Jr. and Lucille McLendon, June 15, 1948. God gently whispered, “You have fought the good fight, you have finished your course, you have kept the faith; henceforth there is a crown of righteousness laid up for you,” and peacefully called her home on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.

Marin attended Gatewood Station AME Zion Church, where she gave her life to Christ at an early age. She received her formal education through Henry Grove, loyal and hardworking, she dedicated many years of service to Cuddy Farms and Cobb Vantress.

Marion was preceded in death by her parents, three siblings, Elsie Tillman, Lonnie McLendon, and Fannie Ruth Ingram: great-grandson, Malachi Hinson, and niece, Brenda Ingram.
