Survived by his wife; Monica of 41 years, daughter; Christine Bugenhagen and husband, Nicholas, son; John M. Marbach III, sister; Elizabeth Hopkins, sisters-in-law; Lorraine De Freitas and Ursula Gomez.

John graduated from Plymouth High School in Plymouth, New Hampshire in 1959. He attended Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and graduated in 1972. Mr. Marbach obtained a Master’s degree from Nova Northeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

John was a veteran serving in the U.S Navy from October 1961 to October 1967 as a hospital corpsman and pharmacy technician. He was stationed at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. His career spanned 42 years with the Veterans Administration serving as a pharmacist. In 1990, he came to Waco, Texas to continue his career at the Waco V.A.

John was active member of the Heart of Texas Hospital Pharmacist Association where he served as Treasurer, President-to-be and then President. John was involved in the community where he was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the American Legion.

This is truly a time of celebration as God has lifted John from a long battle of Alzheimer disease to guide him on what we are sure will be an exciting new journey.

Celebration of Life will be 11:00 AM, Sunday, October 18, 2020 at Connally/Compton Funeral Directors Chapel with Pastor Rebecca Guthrie officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to the Alzheimer Association or Shriner’s Hospital.
