of Mountain Home, AR
September 25, 1929 - January 24, 2017
Marian Edith Uplinger age 87, of Mountain Home, Arkansas went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Tuesday, January 24, 2017, in Mountain Home. She was born September 25, 1929 in Sterling, New York to Arthur and Amanda (Bellman) Goodsell.
Marian is survived by her daughter, Kim (John) Colborn, by three grandchildren: David (Julia) Stevens, Janell (Joseph) Foy and Jenna Stevens and one brother, Merrill Goodsell. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Wesley Uplinger, two brothers and one sister.
For several years, Marian worked as a secretary, in school offices, law offices and churches. In this way, she earned her PHT, i.e. she put her husband through while he prepared for ministry. Together, Marian and Wesley performed effectively as a ministry team. Their complementary personalities, dispositions and skills were utilized fully and faithfully in Godly service. In particular, Marian's vibrant cheerfulness, musical ability, kind generosity and Biblical knowledge were put to excellent use as a pastor's wife, choir director and Bible class leader.

Dear Kim,
As a child growing up I truly enjoyed Aunt Marian as she was closest to my age, full of fun and always had intriguing stories to share. And when she married your Dad we were all enthralled!! How much I remember you and Dawn when you were growing up. We were always impressed by the worthy work your parents did in the Lord's name.
She was a delightful lady and I am glad for her influence and all her music dedication.
Bless you Kim as we both send our sincere expressions of sympathy to you and the children.
With love,
Nancy and Dan O'Neil

Kim,
We are so sorry to hear of your mom and her passing. There are so many memories of when your dad was Pastor at Berean Bible Church in Greene. I even can see your mom still as choir director (along with some of the Berean choir members....Wakemans, Whitbecks, Don Phelps to name a few). I see her directing a choir now and singing with with the angels.
With much love and prayers,
Karen (Brewster) Chandler

Dear Kim and Family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your mom. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of her is her joy. Then her hospitality, sense of humor, her wisdom. She was the perfect partner for your dad, and they both loved you so very much. So many happy times at your house, Kim. I think of her when I see donuts or drink unsweetened iced tea. In my mind's eye she's always wearing a cheery red sweater. Know that I've been praying for you and wishing I could be there in person to give you a hug, dear friend.
Love in Him, Tammy (and Craig) Jasperse

Dear Kim & your entire family,
I grieve with you and I pray tomorrow will be a day of celebrating Aunt Marian's remarkable life of faith.
I loved her laugh, her skill in hospitality, her delicious meals, her fun-loving joy with every one she encountered in life.
Her romance with Uncle Wes impressed me during my childhood years. Cry, it hurts...but she's with Jesus & He takes away the sting of Death. I love â¤ï¸ you!
Your Cousin, Judy
