Marcadia Couch

Marcadia Fay Webb Couch, formerly of Sulphur Springs, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2023 with family at her side. Marcadia was born June 18, 1938 in Ellis County, Texas to Alfred Lee and Ethel Fay (Autrey) Webb, both of whom preceded her in death along with her beloved husband who passed in August of 2021, Aaron “Sonny” Couch, her brothers, Melton and Darvin Webb and her nephew, Shawn Couch. Marcadia was a beautiful young lady who also had a heart for others. In 1956, she caught the eye of a young man named Sonny Couch, who was her brother’s best friend. They had their first date at the State Fair of Texas and 52 days later, they were married. For over six decades, she and Sonny would fill their days with love and laughter, raising cows and farming. When she wasn’t helping Sonny with the dairy farm, Marcadia could be found at the United Way where she worked and help fulfill needs by those less fortunate. Marcadia was a people person and she also found a great job working at Wal Mart in Sulphur Springs where her ever-present smile and willingness to help were a blessing to so many co-workers and shoppers over the years. She and Sonny had a love story for the ages and, while they were not to have their own children, they instead were blessed with so many young nieces and nephews, great-nieces and -nephews over the years that their home and their farm rang with the kids’ laughter and games. Sonny spoiled Marcadia and there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her. He was a fixture at the places she worked when he would take her and pick her up, patiently waiting in the trucks so that they could get back home and catch up on the day and the chores. A true lady who had a beauty that showed both inside and out, Marcadia will be greatly missed by all who knew her and the family takes immense comfort in her being reunited with her beloved Sonny. Marcadia’s legacy of love will continue to be held dear by her sister-in-law, Connie Webb; nieces and nephews: Melton Webb, Jr., Julie Davis and husband, James, Terry Webb, Mark Couch and wife, Donita, Billy Couch, Lori Graham, and Dewayne Couch and wife, Susan; brother-in-law, Johnny Couch and wife, Patsy; great-nieces and great-nephews: Justin Webb and wife, Lindsey, Jamie Rushing and husband, Simpson, Colton Davis and wife, Courtney, Kyle Davis and wife, Cheyenne, and Paige Webb; cousin, Phyllis Turner Young as well as other extended family members and many friends. A graveside service will be at 2:00pm, Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at Arbala Cemetery in Sulphur Springs where she will be laid to rest next to her husband, Sonny.
