Celebrating the Life of Pastor Tracy Yvette Marbley ��️ Sunrise: August 28, 1962 Sunset: September 12, 2025 Location: Indianapolis, Indiana With profound love and deep reverence, we honor the life of Pastor Tracy Yvette Marbley, a devoted servant of God, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Pastor Marbley transitioned peacefully on September 12, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering faith, compassionate leadership, and spiritual strength. Born to the late LB Marbley Sr. and Betty Jean Marbley, Tracy embraced her faith early in life, making a personal decision to follow Jesus that would shape her journey and inspire countless others. She was a prayer warrior, a Bible woman of God, and a beacon of light in every space she entered. Pastor Marbley faithfully served in numerous church roles throughout her life—choir member, devotion leader, church clerk, missionary, Sunday School Superintendent, and Church Administrator. She founded True Word of God Ministries, led a powerful Prison Ministry, and helped establish structure in churches such as Holy Cross Church of God in Christ. Her voice reached city leaders, and her heart always leaned toward the underserved. A proud alumna of IUPUI, she was licensed and ordained under Bishop Laverne Tyson of New Beginning Ministries. She also served her community through roles at the Marion County Health Department, IUPUI School of Law Clinic, and the Marion County Children’s Bureau, from which she retired. Pastor Marbley was a self-proclaimed interior decorator, a writer of short stories, and a woman who loved deeply and laughed freely. She was known for her radiant smile, her wisdom-filled prayers, and her favorite saying: “Warning before destruction” (Proverbs 16:1–33). Her phone was set with prayer alarms, and her heart was always tuned to the needs of others. Our mother rarely complained, often simply saying, "Such is life." She would always affirm, "I'm great." She often identified with Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, passionately crying out for souls to be saved. Filled with wisdom, she continuously sought guidance through prayer. She was preceded in death by her brother, Larry Bernard Marbley, and granddaughter, Actshiona Lanaya Davis (daughter of Ronald Davis Sr). She leaves to cherish her memory:  Her children: Ronald L. Davis Sr (“My Heart Beat”), Nathanael Davis (“My Breath”) and his wife Jennifer Davis, and Jacqueline J. Marbley Hinkle (“My Joy”) and her husband Donald A. Hinkle Jr.  16 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren  Sisters: Mrs. Katie Wilbourn (Wallace), Mrs. Renita D. Proctor (Dudley), and Ms. Sharon Marbley  Brother: LB Marbley Jr.  Aunt: Valerie D. Davis  A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and all who lovingly called her Mommie and Grannie Pastor Marbley’s Homegoing Celebration will be officiated by Pastor Eugene Simpson III of New Covenant Christian Life Center, with tributes, music, and reflections from family, friends, and church members. Her final resting place will be at New Crown Hill Cemetery (Southside). As 2 Corinthians 5:8 reminds us: "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." Her spirit lives on in every life she touched, every prayer she lifted, and every soul she led closer to God.
