Born in Centerville Community of Fairfield County, Mr. Branham was the son of the late Tally Branham and Alice Nelson Branham.  He was a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Ridgeway Ward.

Marion loved spending his time in the service of others, through his church and through his many friends and family. He was always there for others, giving words of encouragement, providing meals for those in need, comforting the sick, and teaching others about Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. He loved his children and his grandchildren dearly and enjoyed their family trips to the beach. His love for music and laughter will be passed on through the many lives he touched.

In addition to his parents, Marion is predeceased by two sisters, Sarah and Inez, and his brother Julian Branham.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Marion’s memory to Emory University Hospital
