Marsha Ann Loyd

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold E. Loyd of Riley, Indiana and Enda “Marie” (Higginbotham) Loyd of Terre Haute, Indiana and her one true love. James “Jim” McDowell of Terre Haute, Indiana.

She is survived by her amazing daughter, Tracey (Loyd) Deverick; four grandchildren, Gage Haase, Alyssa Hensley, Abbigail Deverick and Robert Deverick; great grandchildren, Kyah Moore, Dutton Dean, Madelyn Haase, Laylynn McCalister and Wesley McCalister.

Marsha enjoyed the warm sun on her face and the sandy beaches at her feet. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family. She had a heart of gold that truly never said no when it came to helping those she loved. She enjoyed riding motorcycles and being free on the open road.

Marsha was a dedicated and hardworking woman who was never afraid to put in the effort to support the life she built. She often worked a second job after completing a full day’s work, demonstrating her unwavering determination and strength. Because of her steadfast dedication, she was able to enjoy several cherished years as a Florida snowbird, happily dipping her toes in the sand. Marsha had a servant’s heart and carried out her duty to others with grace ad generosity. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Mattox-Wood Funeral Home. Services will take place on Friday, March 6, 2026 at 1:00pm with Chris Wilbur officiating. Visitation will be held from 10:00am to 1:00pm at the funeral home. Graveside services will follow at Roselawn Memorial Park.

Following the graveside service, family and friends are invited to gather for a reception and celebration of life at the Sandcut Firehouse. All are welcome to join in enjoying live music-just as Marsha would have wanted-and sharing their favorite memories in her honor.
