Marlon Yarbrough

Marlon Yarbrough, age 77, of Glenwood, passed away on Thursday, April 7, 2022.

He was born on March 4, 1945, in Glenwood, the son of John Jefferson Yarbrough and Artie Bates Yarbrough.  On September 14, 1972, he was married to the love of his life, Marsha Lynn Lambert.  He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Eugene Yarbrough, Billy Yarbrough, and Marion Yarbrough; and two sisters, Odessa Lindsey and Levada Lindsey.

He enjoyed fox and coon hunting, working with his roses, and loved riding his horses and shoeing them.  In his younger years, he will be remembered by many as the local milk man.    He was a very gifted and talented singer and guitar player and enjoyed sharing his music with his family and friends.  Marlon’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, who he loved with all his heart, especially his grandchildren, who he loved to babysit and spoil every chance he would get.

He is survived by his loving wife, Marsha Yarbrough of Glenwood; two sons, Kenny Yarbrough of Glenwood and Kerry Sikes of Minden, Louisiana; his daughter and son-in-law, Delana Lynn and Leon Cogburn of Glenwood; four grandchildren, Marlon Taylor, Madison Sirmon, Klint Yarbrough and Khiley Yarbrough; two great-grandchildren, Jeffrey Taylor and Kayson Yarbrough; two brothers, Johnny Yarbrough and Ray Yarbrough, both of Glenwood, and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and a host of wonderful friends.
