Bro. Marbury Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A loving uncle, a loyal friend, a Christian servant. Bro. Otis Marbury begins a new life in a better world. For he served his God and humankind well in this world.
He was born to the late Leon and Josephine Marbury in Goodwater, Alabama and educated in the Goodwater School System. Otis was known for his ability to play the organ and blessed many people through his playing. His sweet personality and kind spirit will always be remembered by those who were blessed to know him.
He taught us the real meaning of real joy, a prevailing faith, enduring courage and the dignity of love. He was full of humor but had a strong determination for life.
Three sisters and two brothers preceded him in death: Mattie Leonard, Mrs. Mary Bennett. Pastor Susie McCloud, Mr. Leon Marbury and Mr. Julius Marbury.
He leaves to cherish his memories his loving nieces, nephews and cousins; and special friends Greg Hughley and Joyce Simpson.
