(From Clark Funeral Home)Ileen Marble was born on May 29, 1939, in El Dorado, Kansas, to Davie Andrew and Helen Elizabeth (Nace) Carter. She went to be with her Lord and Savior on August 15, 2024, in Joplin, Missouri, at the age of 85.
Ileen graduated from East Central High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She moved to the SW Missouri area as a young adult and worked as an administrative assistant at the Soil Conservation Service, South School, and Sweetwater Baptist Church until her retirement in June of 2021.
