Sally Sue Warner Marsh

Services for Sally Sue Warner Marsh, 90, of Tyler will be held on Friday, January 24, 2025, 2:00pm, at Christ Episcopal Church with The Reverend David Luckenbach officiating. Mrs. Marsh passed away Sunday, January 5, 2025 in Tyler. She was born September 7, 1934 in Pecos, Texas to Thomas Duane Warner and Ruth Dell Atchley Warner. Sally was a member of Christ Episcopal Church, Tyler. Some of her happiest times growing up were spent in El Dorado, Arkansas and Jonesboro, Arkansas with family, as well as at Camp Miramichee in Hardy, Arkansas, where she was a camper, then counselor. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and she graduated from East High School, attended Newcomb College (Tulane), Memphis State University (now University of Memphis), and graduated from the University of Oklahoma. That’s where she met the love of her life, Lawrence “Larry” Alvin Marsh. Their romance was a whirlwind. They married in June 1956, and the marriage lasted 63 years until Larry’s passing in 2019. They welcomed a son, Lawrence Alvin Marsh Jr. in 1957, and a daughter, Holly Elisabeth Marsh, in 1959. Sally and Larry filled their homes with lots of laughter and great food, and their homes were always fun places. Sally loved to cook, and she would read cookbooks like most people read novels. Sally and Larry, along with dear family friends, Fritter and Mike McNally, hosted several outdoor pig roasts in the backyard for friends and neighbors. Those parties were epic! She was a proud member of Kappa Alpha Theta, and in high school was the national president of Delta Beta Sigma. At Christ Church, she was a member of The Guild of the Nativity, Episcopal Church Women, and assisted in the parish administrator’s office. And together, Sally and Larry volunteered for several years for the Loaves and Fishes ministry at Christ Church. She was a member of the Tyler Newcomers Club, where she met many friends with whom she shared her love of playing bridge for many years. The family wishes to express sincere thanks to the staffs of The Hamptons, Tyler, Meadow Lake Senior Living, Tyler, and Hospice of East Texas for their unwavering and loving care of Sally. Sally was preceded in death by her father, mother, husband Lawrence Marsh; sisters-in-law Martha Lou Johnson Marsh and Noranna Burridge Warner, brothers-in-law Philip Marsh and William Bingham, and nephews Carter Marsh and Will Bingham. She is survived by her son Lawrence Marsh Jr. and wife, Lynn Anne and their children, Lindsey and Andy Alexander, and Gabe and Jessica Gillum; her daughter, Holly Marsh; brother, Thomas D. Warner; sister-in-law, Merry Ann Marsh Bingham; niece, Susan Marsh Agee and husband Jasen; nephew, Paul Marsh and wife Wynne; and nephew, Dan Bingham; niece-in-law, Christine Marsh Green (Zack); grand-nieces Elaine Agee Guinn (Trent), Meredith Agee Ramirez (Mauricio), Victoria Agee Ryan (Jase), Margo Marsh; grand-nephews, Jack Marsh, Ben Marsh, and Garrison Marsh; and great-grand nieces, Charlotte Guinn and Madeline Guinn.
