MARLOWE LEE CARTER, Age 59, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday April 9, 2020. Marlowe retired from The City of Columbus Recreation and Parks in December 2012. He worked in Forestry as well as in the Landscaping Division. He started working for the City of Columbus as a teen and made a life-long career of it.

Marlowe loved the outdoors and spending time with family and friends. Because of his landscaping expertise, he often helped family and friends with their home landscaping. He had the ability to make anyone’s yard beautiful. He simply had a true respect and appreciation for nature.
Marlowe was a generous, loyal and caring person; he always had a smile on his face and would do anything to help anyone. He was also an artist by nature, it was his first love. Many of his high school class-mates often remember him spending an abundance of time in the art room; drawing, painting and also learning the art of photography.
Marlowe will be dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
