She was predeceased by her parents, Wilbur and Margaret Outen of Savannah, Georgia and a brother Bradford Outen of Metter, Georgia.
She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Robert A. (Bob) Marshall; daughters, Jill M. Allen, Sherry J. Crawley (Edmond), Vicki S. Norman (Jimmy); seven grandchildren, Brent Crawley, Kathleen Crawley, Michael Allen, Laura McMinn (C.J.), Ryan Norman, Taylor Norman, and Jared Norman; and a brother, Rodney Outen of Savannah, Georgia; a sister, LouAnn Roehl (Bill) of Myrtle Beach; and a favorite aunt, Corine Hall of Savannah, Georgia.
She was known as “Jo” to her friends and family and “Nana” to her grandchildren. During an outing, one grandchild became very concerned when he heard another child refer to his grandmother as Nana. Quickly, an older brother comforted him by saying, don’t worry ours’ is “The” Nana. Jo was a loving, caring wife, mother, and grandmother, who devoted her life to her family. She made a home for her girls and husband wherever life took her: Morocco, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Germany, and finally, Alabama. She remained strong and committed to her family during the very difficult Vietnam era.
Graveside services will be held at Alabama Heritage at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, 2015 with Minister Buddy Bell and E. L. “Shorty” Huber officiating.
Friends will be received one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Jo’s memory may be made to the charity of your choice.
