Marsha Louise (Butler) Brown, 58, of Holland, also known as "Honey" to the grands, went home to be with the Lord on December 25, 2014, just in time for Jesus's birthday celebration. She was born on August 20, 1956 in Richmond, Calif. but spent most of her life in Holland, Ark. She graduated from Greenbrier High School in 1974. She worked whole-heartedly at Conway Human Development Center for 32 years. There she met her second family in the clients that became her kids, the staff that became her friends, and "The Girls" that became sisters. To know Marsha was to love her. She gave so much love to all, especially her grandkids Tennyson and Hayden, who made her heart whole. She was the family photographer who loved to set the self timer and see what turned out. She was the family chef in training who would watch the Food channel and read the Food Network magazines all week to find the perfect recipes to try out for the family every Sunday when they'd meet at her house for lunch after church. She was a flower gardener who could make anything grow and couldn't stand to see flowers sit on a grave after a funeral because no one was there to enjoy them. She spent every day of life making a memory. Waiting on her in Heaven was her husband, Ronnie "Tex" Brown, and her parents B.E. and Ruby (Chaney) Butler, as well as countless other loved ones. Waiting to meet her someday in Heaven is her daughter, Kristen (Chris) Barnett, son, Clay Brown, grandchildren, Tennyson Bey Barnett and Hayden Coal Brown, brother, Charles Henry Butler (Mary Jane), niece and nephew, Jamie and Matt Butler, and many other special friends she made through life's journey. Marsha was a member of Oakland United Methodist Church, Holland, Ark., but had recently felt at home at LifeSong Baptist Church, Greenbrier, Ark. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, December 29, 2014 at LifeSong Baptist Church, with Bro. Freddie Mark Wilcox officiating. Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home, Conway (501) 327-7727. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Conway Human Development Center, 150 E. Seibenmorgan Road, Conway, Ark. 72032. Online guest book: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com.
