Marland was born to Walter and Mable Dungan Mason on August 10, 1934 in Foss Oklahoma and entered into Heaven on February 11, 2021 in Enid Oklahoma. Growing up, he attended various small country schools where his mother taught. The family settled in Gotebo Oklahoma when Marland was in the fifth grade. He graduated from Gotebo High School in 1952 and attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University, graduating in 1956 with an Industrial Arts Degree. In 1968 he completed his Master’s in Secondary Education at the University of Oklahoma. At the age of 16, he met who he knew would be the love of his life, Shirley McClure, while attending church with a friend. After graduation from college, he was united in marriage with Shirley on June 29, 1956 in Gotebo, Oklahoma. In 1956 Marland joined the United States Army and was assigned to Fifth Army Headquarters in Chicago Illinois. He served with distinction and was honorably discharged in 1958. In 1958 he returned to Oklahoma and began his teaching career, first in Shattuck Oklahoma and later in Olustee Oklahoma. Eventually Marland settled his family in Altus where he taught for many years at Altus Central Junior High and Altus High School. He retired as the Principal at Northeast Junior High in 1987. Marland and his wife Shirley have been members of the Garriott Road Church of Christ since 2012, when they moved to Enid to be near their children. They previously had been members of the Elm and Hudson Church of Christ in Altus Oklahoma for over 30 years.This site may be freely linked, but not duplicated in any way without consent.
