On August 11, 2017 death sneaked in and separated, but only temporarily, one extremely exquisite love affair between Barbara Gail Marks Saunders and Danny Saunders. God lovingly brought these two babies together, by birth, on a beautiful, cold morning on February 3, 1960. They were born within three minutes of each other and emotionally they were bound together from birth in a union that death cannot separate.
Danny's statement of his love for Barbara is, and has always been, "I will love her forever. I have always loved her from the first moment I saw her." Just as God has united them from the first, He will reunite them in Heaven.
Barbara was born in Little Rock, AR to James and Ruth Marks. Both are deceased. She is survived by a daughter, Teresa (Roger) Whiting; one brother, James Marks; one sister, Dorothy Collins; three grandsons, James Uptain, Dakota Uptain and Damion Harrison; two granddaughters, Isabella Uptain and Shyanne Uptain; one great- grandson, Boston Uptain; mother-in-law, Dorothy Moore; three special sisters-in-laws, Tracy, Sparky, and Renee, who she considered true sisters.
A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, August 17, 2017 at 10:00AM at the New Hope Church of the Nazerene on Atwood Rd in Landmark with Brother George Yarberry officiating. A meal will be held for family after the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the funeral home.
