Marion McMullin Tatum

Tatum, Marion McMullin passed away, January 1, 2021. Born September 21, 1928 in Petersburg, VA to Leonard Aubry and Pearl Beazley McMullin. She was preceeded in death by her husband, Rev. William P. Tatum, Jr., her parents and siblings, Emily Schultz Dunlap, Norman McMullin, and Pearl Roper McMullin. She is survived by her four children, Patricia Poythress (Neil), William P. Tatum, III (Arlene), Jeanette Woodfin (Joe), and Marion Fauver (Dicky). She was a beloved grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother. She lived her life as a testimony to God, serving diligently with her husband in many churches throughout the United Methodist Conference of Virginia. God was always first in her life. Her sincere, spiritual kindness drew many people to her and closer to God. Part of her spiritual journey included participating in a "Walk to Emmaus", as a pilgrim. It strengthened her personal relationship with Jesus Christ as God's grace and love was revealed to her through other believers. She will be loved and missed by all who knew her. We celebrate her new life now residing with Jesus, as we know she had the best New Year ever.
