Cordelia Frances Blanche Breeden Marshall

Cordelia Marshall of Mount Juliet, Tennessee (formerly of Newport, Tennessee) born November 17, 1939, died peacefully in her sleep on April 10, 2026. She was a woman who found joy in melody and meaning in every note. Music was not just something she loved - it was part of who she was. She wrote music from the heart, sharing her spirit and emotions in ways that touched those around her. Above all, she deeply loved her family. Her greatest happiness came from time spent with those she cherished, and she gave that love freely, unconditionally, and wholeheartedly. Her presence was a steady source of comfort, strength, and warmth. She was a devoted Christian who loved the Lord fiercely. Her faith guided her life, shaped her character, and carried her through every season. She lived her beliefs daily - with grace, compassion, and unwavering trust in God. Her legacy of love, faith, and creativity will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Marshall; her parents, William “Bill” and Swanie Murrell Breeden; sisters and brothers, Jenny Whaley, Barbara Breeden, Mary Violet, Jerry Breeden, Rita Williams, and Billy Breeden; and daughter-in-law, Melinda Marshall.
