Marla had a passion for artistic endeavors. She made purses, clothes, pillows, jewelry, wigs and much more. She also did picture images set in wood. She loved to set up a booth to sell her merchandise at sales or vendor events around the area. She was adventurous and well traveled. She often said she had been to every state in the United States except for four. She was feisty and straight forward.

Marla was a dedicated daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was preceded in death by her father, John George; One sister, Demetrius George; Two Brothers, Clyde Junior and Angelo George.
