Marshall O. Rowe

Marshall O. Rowe was born in Sulphur Springs, Texas, on March 8, 1937, to Marshall Rowe, Sr. and Opal Teel Rowe. He moved to his heavenly home on Thursday, January 16, 2020.

He spent his boyhood and high school years in Washington, Arkansas.  He attended high school in Hope and graduated from Ouachita Baptist College just before marrying his high school sweetheart, Sue Hicks.  

After serving in the Army, he worked in South Carolina. He, Sue, and daughter, Renee, moved to Beaumont in 1963 when he took his job with Texas US Chemical in Port Neches, where he worked 34 years. He was an active member of North End Baptist Church, serving as a deacon, chairing many committees and projects, teaching Sunday school, and singing in the choir.

Marshall loved fishing, golfing, woodworking, and spending times with friends and family!

Those left to cherish being a part of his life are his wife of sixty years, Sue; his daughter, Renee Davidson and her husband, Paul, and his son, Hunter. His grandchildren will miss their Papa MO: Danielle Peterson and her husband, Jack, their children, Johnny, Tyler, and JW; Ryan Nance and his wife, Allison, their children, Nash and Nolan; his sister, Rowena and her husband, Larry Reed; sisters-in-law, Alice and her husband, Virgil Sanders and Elizabeth and her husband, Larry Griffis; and loving nieces and nephews.
