David Franklin Marmie Sr., 93, of Woodsfield, formerly of Ozark and Traverse City, Mich., died November 19, 2024. He was born September 16, 1931, in Bethesda, a son of the late Fred and Nellie (Chambers) Marmie. David was a Korean War Veteran having served in Germany and also stateside at a military radar station in Empire, Mich. He was a brick layer for 31 years at the former Ormet Corporation in Hannibal. Some of his masonry work can still be seen around Monroe County. David loved life, joked, smiled, and would end his phone calls with “don’t forget to have some fun.” He enjoyed talking with his family and loved searching for hidden treasures at local auctions or yard sales. For years, he enjoyed watching harness and dog racing at Wheeling Downs. David spent many hours tinkering on small engines and always took pride in keeping the lawn manicured with decorative Christmas lights for all to see at the family home in Ozark. He amazingly could fix just about anything. He rarely missed a ballgame that his boys played in and rarely turned down an offer to throw a ball in the back yard. David moved to Traverse City where he remarried and lived for over 20 years. David was the final living member of his immediate Marmie family. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his second wife, Norma (Egler) Marmie of Traverse City, his daughter, Debra (JD) Burke of Ozark, and 11 siblings, Charles (WWII), Eleanor, Jessie, Ida Louise, Evelyn, Mabel, Robert, Elmer, Carl, and two half-brothers, Marion, and Carris. Left to cherish his memory are his first wife, Naomi (Poulson) Marmie of Woodsfield, four children, Shirley Marmie-McCance of Byesville, David Franklin Marmie Jr. of Germantown, Ohio, John (Monica) Marmie of Morgan Hill, Calif., and Anthony Marmie of Columbus. Grandchildren include Jarrin (Sarah) Burke, Savannah (Travis) Eddy, Matthew (Lanae) Burke, Le Vanelle Marmie, Deidre (Jared) Colvin, Christian Callarik, Zane Marmie, Isaiah Marmie, and Ethan Marmie, eight great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, and the Egler step-family. Family and friends will be received and funeral services will be held November 24 at Wilson Funeral Home-Harper Chapel, Beallsville. Full Military Honors by American Legion Post 768 will be presented at the funeral home. Burial will follow in Ozark Cemetery.
