Madeline Marlin

Madeline Vernor Marlin at the age of 80 went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 28, 2010 at her home on the Marlin Ranch. Madeline was born October 20, 1929 in Kenedy, TX to Beall and Vivian Vernor. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, of 61 years.
Madeline and Bill married on June 10, 1948 in Camp Wood, TX. They moved to Uvalde and began looking for a church to start their married life. They started attending Baptist Temple and have been faithful members ever since. Baptist Temple soon became the center of their lives. They raised their children to love the Lord and it was the beginning of their children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren serving the Lord. The example they set for us began 61 years ago and it will be alive in each of us forever.
Madeline loved to sew, do crafts, and to quilt. She used her talents to serve the Lord any chance she had. Each of her kids, grandkids, and greatgrandkids have enjoyed her making them a special birthday cake and each one has a quilt made by her stitched with love.
She leaves to mourn her passing her children, Johnny Ray Marlin of Dallas Vivian Goode and husband, Joel of Uvalde Patricia Barnes and husband, Richard of Crystal City and Richard Marlin and wife, Susan of Knippa grandchildren, Joey Goode and wife, Kara of La Vernia Christi Twilligear and husband, Coby of Hondo Tim Marlin and Rachel Marlin of Knippa Kenneth Barnes and wife, April of Stephenville and Melanie Gibson and husband, Joe of Florence.
