Dorothy Jane Marrow

Dorothy Jane Strickland Marrow, age 79, passed away on June 25, 2026. She was born December 1, 1946, in Paulding County to the late Joseph Warren Strickland and Lilly Mae Strickland.

Dorothy was known for her unwavering love and care for her family, and she found great joy in gathering those she cherished around her table. Cooking for family was more than a hobby for Dorothy—it was one of the most heartfelt ways she expressed her love and created lasting memories with those closest to her. Her home was often filled with the comforting aromas of home-cooked meals, which became the centerpiece of countless celebrations and everyday moments alike.

Throughout her life, Dorothy touched the lives of those around her through simple acts of compassion and a steadfast presence. Her commitment to family, her strength of character, and her ability to nurture and bring people together remain part of her enduring legacy.

Dorothy's journey began in Paulding County, Georgia, where her early years shaped her appreciation for close-knit community and enduring bonds. She concluded her life in Carrollton, enveloped by the familiar landscape of her beloved home state.

Along with her parents, Dorothy is proceeded in death by her husband Clarence Jr. Marrow; son Jay Duran Marrow; brother Joseph Strickland.

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Michael Anthony Marrow (Karla) of Temple, GA; daughter Mary Jane Arnold Strickland of Dallas, GA; grandchildren Joseph Marrow (Michelle), Amber Marrow, Stephanie Marrow, Jay Marrow, Zach Marrow, and Michael Marrow; great-grandchildren Adam Marrow, Aspen Marrow, Austin Finnell, Haley Finnell, Maddison Finnell, Jackson Finnell, Hayden Pavich, Whitney Pavich, Braxton Smith, and Brayden Smith; brothers Larry Strickland and JC Strickland.

She will be remembered with deep respect and affection by all who were fortunate to know her. Though she is no longer with us, the love Dorothy shared and the traditions she created will continue to live on in the hearts and homes of those who survive her.
