Marlene Saint Newburn

Marlene (Marty) Saint Newburn, 88, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

Marlene was born in San Bernardino, California, daughter of the late Avery B. Saint and the late Gladys Maud Ormerod Saint. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Harold Saint.

Marlene has been blessed with a 47-year marriage to Melvin (Mel) Bradley Newburn, a retired and beloved mailman for Biltmore Forest.

She was a very spiritual lady, often found sharing her original spiritual poems. She was also an avid reader and studied her Bible often. Marlene was a retired administrative assistant with Spartanburg Regional Hospital. She and her husband Mel were members of the First Baptist Church in Boiling Springs, SC and together taught Sunday school as well as holding bible study classes at their home. Marlene was also a gifted seamstress and made her daughters’ dresses when they were children. She loved spending time with Mel and family as well as Coby, the family dog.

She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Also left to cherish Marlene’s memories are her son, two daughters, and two sons-in-law: Richard Dean Dunwoody, Robin and Joseph McMahon II, Jill and Ken Hazen, as well as her grandchildren: Tabitha Cobble, Joseph T. McMahon III, Richard M. McMahon, Sarah C. McMahon, and Jason D. Dennis. There are also four precious great-grandchildren.

Her memories will continue to live in the hearts of her family and friends.

A graveside service to honor her life will be held at 2:30 PM on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at Good Shepherd Memorial Park.

Reverend Norman Band will officiate the graveside service.

The arrangements are entrusted into the care of Floyd Boiling Springs Chapel.
