Marla was the heart of her family — strong, steady, and full of love. She faced life with quiet courage and an unshakable spirit, meeting every challenge with grace and determination. No matter what came her way, she always found a reason to smile and a way to lift up the people around her.
She shared a beautiful life with her husband, John, and took endless pride in her daughter, Amanda and son-in-law Kenneth. Her grandchildren, Abigail and Isaac, were the lights of her life. There wasn’t a moment too small or a day too ordinary for Marla to make it special; she found joy in simply being together.
Her strength, warmth, and fierce love will stay with everyone who knew her. Marla taught those around her what it means to keep going, to love deeply, and to find joy even in the hardest moments.
