Funeral services for Mr. Prince Marsh Sr. were held on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 at noon from Union Baptist Church. Rev. Alvin Howard officiated. Burial followed in the churchyard cemetery. Hudson Funeral Services, Greenville, Ala., directed.

Mr. Prince Marsh Jr., affectionately known as Daddy Tut by family and friends, was born Jan. 19, 1921 to the late Prince and Lillia Marsh in Butler County.  He was the youngest of five children. Four siblings preceded him in death.

Prince was united in Holy Matrimony to the late Celestine Marsh on Feb. 2, 1938 and they remained loyal to each other until death.  To this union five children were born: Jessie, Rufus, Hattie, Gracie and Earlie.  Jessie and Rufus preceded them in death.

He joined Union Baptist Church at an early age where he served faithfully.  Prince was a devoted husband and father.  He only had one arm, but he did anything with that one arm that any man with two arms could do.

His hobbies were fishing and gardening, and he loved raising vegetables and got much joy from blessing the less fortunate with them.

He passed from life to eternal rest on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017 at Georgiana Nursing Home in Georgiana, Ala.

He was in the nursing home by choice.  He admitted himself knowing that his devoted son, Earlie, and daughter, Gracie, were going to see that he would be taken care of.

He leaves to cherish his memories: four children, Hattie Page, Detroit, Mich., Gracie Kelley and Rosetta Marsh, both of Greenville, Ala., and Earlie (Evon) Marsh of Millbrook, Ala.; daughter-in-law, Charla Mae Marsh, Greenville, Ala.; a foster family whom he loved dearly, including Hattie, Cassandra and Renee Gulley; 42 grandchildren, 119 great grandchildren and numerous other grandchildren; a future son-in-law, James (Pop) Chambers; a special nephew, Jimmie Riley and a host of other relatives and friends.
