Please keep the Marcum Family in your prayers:
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Georgia (Mendell) Marcum, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished friend, who departed this world on January 30, 2025. Born in Aurora, Indiana, on July 5, 1941, Georgia dedicated her life to making others feel beautiful, to nurturing her family, and to creating lasting memories of love and laughter.
Georgia was the daughter of Donald Wayne and Kathleen (Walker) Mendell, who instilled in her the values of kindness, generosity, and a deep appreciation for family. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, her devoted husband Billy Marcum, who she married on April 4, 1967, and her dear brother Jack Mendell.
Georgia's legacy lives on through her four children: Barry (Theresa) Marcum, Billie (Mike) Stover, Brandon (Vickie) Marcum, and Brad (Brandi) Marcum. She treasured her nine grandchildren—Bethany, Jamie, Madison, Lanie, Kaycee, Torin, Torrie, Brylee, and Bradee—who were the light of her life. She took immense pride in being a great-grandmother to Aaliyah, Mason, Haislee, River, Dallas, Jackson, Everly, and Huntsleigh, often sharing her wisdom and warmth with them, creating bonds that will surely endure.
For many years, Georgia was a licensed cosmetologist, transforming her clients with her skilled hands and creative vision. Her ability to make others feel beautiful mirrored her loving spirit and kind heart. In addition, she served many families as a dedicated school bus driver for Westfield Washington Schools, where her friendly demeanor and gentle nature made her a beloved figure among students and parents alike.
Georgia was a former member of the Moose Lodge in Noblesville, where she engaged with her community and made lasting friendships. She had a zest for life and an adventurous spirit, with a particular love for travel and the beach. Her favorite getaway was to Ludington, Michigan, where she and her husband created cherished memories, enjoying the beauty of nature and each other’s company. Georgia found joy in fishing, but above all, her greatest joy came from her family, whom she adored fiercely.
Known for her loving, kind nature, Georgia was a person who never met a stranger. Her warm smile and welcoming heart touched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her. She leaves behind her brothers Don (Caroline) Mendell and Mike (Claudia) Mendell, along with her brother-in-law Rick Marcum and sisters-in-law Debbie (Fred) Amend, Linda Mendell, and Doris Marcum, as well as several nieces and nephews who will forever hold her memory close.
A funeral service to honor Georgia’s life will be held on March 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Fisher Family Funeral Services. Family and friends are invited to gather from 11:00 am till the time of services. in remembrance of a remarkable woman whose love and light will continue to shine through her family and all whose lives she touched.
As we say goodbye to Georgia, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life filled with love, laughter, and an unwavering commitment to family and friends. She will be profoundly missed but forever remembered in our hearts.
