Blenda Marshall was full of joy and laughter. She always went out of her way to help others. She should not be remembered by this tradgedy but by her smile and love of life. My prayers go out to her children and that God will bring healing and comfort to them. Barbie Richardson FoldenPatricia Dunn (Ford)
My sympathy and prayers go out to Blenda's friends and family. She and I were friends in school and went to Little French Beauty Academy together also. She was a friend of my family as well. She always thought of her family first and would bring a smile to your face just hearing her laughter. This tragedy will affect so many, but we should rest more knowing that she is in a better place than we are.Janel Willis (Williams)
Blenda and her daughter used to take vocal and guitar lessons at my music store, Lollipop Music, every week. Her daughter had a voice given to her by Heaven and Blenda was a strong supporter of her family. She was a wonderful, devoted, and caring person full of personality and a love for life. Above all she was an activist for God and his direction. I will greatly miss her and I pray for her family.
