Dale Wayne Marr
November 22, 1948 – November 1, 2025
Dale Wayne Marr was born on November 22, 1948, in Flint, Michigan, the son of the late Leland and Madolyn (Mead) Marr. At the age of 76, Dale passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous and hard-fought battle with cancer.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 21, 2025, from 4–7 p.m. at Spring Meadows Country Club, 1129 Ripley Road, Linden, Michigan. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dale Marr’s name to the Linden Fire Association for the Lift Assist Service. Donations will be collected at the celebration of life or can be mailed to 132 East Broad St. Linden, MI 48451. Expressions of sympathy may be shared with the family on Dale’s tribute wall at detroitcremationsociety.com.
Dale met the love of his life, Sue, in high school, and the two were married on December 14, 1968—celebrating nearly 57 wonderful years together.
He attended Flint Southwestern High School, graduating in 1966, and went on to Flint Junior College, where he played golf on a scholarship for two years before proudly serving his country in the U.S. Marine Corps.
A natural athlete, Dale participated in many sports, including golf, basketball, football, swimming, and shot put. He loved the outdoors—spending countless hours hunting and fishing on trips to Canada, northern Michigan, and Alaska. He was also an avid skier who enjoyed frequent trips up north and out west, even honeymooning in Colorado.
Dale began his career at Genesee Bank as a Purchasing Agent before joining his father in founding Marr Printing Company in 1980 in Grand Blanc. He owned and operated the business until his retirement in 2002. Never one to slow down, Dale went on to establish Michigan Photo ID, providing services for schools and hospitals, which he continued until just a few years ago.
A longtime member of Warwick Hills Country Club in Grand Blanc, Dale and Sue raised their family there while building lasting friendships. Most recently, he was an active member at Spring Meadows Country Club, where he continued to enjoy golf and time with family and friends.
Dale also earned his private pilot’s license and owned three airplanes throughout his life, taking great joy in flying whenever he could.
Dale is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Sue; his daughters, Wendy (Matt) Shaker and Lindsey (Geoff) Beiser; his four cherished grandchildren — Kaleigh and MJ Shaker, and Elle and Gehrig Beiser.
Spending time with his grandchildren brought Dale great joy. He loved watching them play their sports, cheering them on from the sidelines, and celebrating all their accomplishments. He was incredibly proud of each of them and cherished every moment they spent together.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leland and Madolyn Marr, and his brother, Dick Marr.
