Marla was born on December 16, 1958, in Houston, TX to Marcus and Mary Jo Beckham. She was the baby of the four children but always was the one to rule the roost! She was always mothering to her siblings and continued that trait throughout her life. She excelled in school, was part of the band, playing the flute and was a cheerleader. She was known for her big, blue eyes, long beautiful hair, and a smile that would light up the room. She was a wonderful sister, and an amazing friend. She was married to her best friend, Rick Eads for over 30 years, had three daughters, and many other adopted kids she loved as her own. Always involved in school activities, being a mentor to so many, and cooking meals big enough for an army! She loved dancing, painting, shopping (Lord did she shop!) and making others happy. To know her, was to love her.
