Marion M. (Reid) Washburn, 85, of Fayetteville, Ark., passed away Sunday, Dec. 25, 2016 at Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, Ark. She was born Nov. 7, 1931 in Detroit, Mi., to Walter E. Reid and Lela M. (Wessels) Reid. Marion was a homemaker, caregiver, and cleaned homes for over thirty years. She adored music and loved to sing, anytime, anywhere. She was a life-long Christian Scientist. Marion was preceded in death by both parents; brother Walter E. Reid Jr.; sister Faye B. Reid; brother Max F. Reid; husband, Jack Washburn; and son Mark C. Washburn. She is survived by two sons: Jeffery L. Washburn of Yulee, Fla.; Christopher P. Washburn of Fayetteville, Ark.; grandson, Jeramy L. Washburn; granddaughter, Sydney N. Washburn; and grandson Scott T. Washburn; as well as two great-grandchildren: Jaxen L. Washburn and Maddox D. Washburn. Marion is interred with her husband at Fayetteville National Cemetery, Arkansas. No services are planned at this time. Although those of us who knew her are sure to grieve the void Marion has left in our lives, we can take comfort in the fact that she has found the peace and joy and laughter that she endeavored to bring to others throughout her life. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Alzheimer's Association; Area Agency on Aging; St. Paul's Episcopal Church "Caring Friends - Respite Ministry" or any church and/or charity of choice.
