In Memory Of
Marita Phipps Marlett
1932 - 2020
Marita grew up during the depression years in Northern Arkansas. As a young adult, she met and married her first husband, Thomas Phipps. Together they had and raised three children, Ron, Linda, and Kathy. While raising her family, she worked as a bank teller at Saint John's Bank & Trust. Thomas passed away in April of 1995. She then retired in 1995. She continued to travel and enjoy retirement. Marita reconnected with a childhood friend, Joseph Marlett "Jake", at a class reunion. They married in 2001 and enjoyed 18 years of happiness, until his passing in 2019. Marita never went anywhere without meeting someone she knew or drawing in someone she didn't know. She was known to be a shining star, and the rock of our family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Rayburn and Etta King; her first husband, Thomas Phipps; her second husband, Joseph Marlett; her brother, Thomas King and her step son Steff Emmett Marlett.
Marita is survived by her children, Ron Phipps, Linda Bonifield (Paul), Kathy DeShaney (Don), step children; Leisa Barnhart (Wesley) and Joseph E. Marlett, II (Lisa) and her grandchildren, Todd, Cory, Adam, Lance, Amanda, Jessica, Jason, Madeline, Kyle, Josh, Kristen, Delina, Paul, and Michelle; her 16 great-grandchildren; her brother, Charles King (Sondra) and her sister-In-Law, Donna King. She will be dearly missed by many other family members and friends.
