Obituary For Marlene Boyd Hogue

Marlene Boyd Hogue, 71, of Belmont, North Carolina, entered eternal rest on January 30, 2026. Born on January 5, 1955, in Shelby, North Carolina, Marlene was the beloved daughter of the late James Leslie Boyd, Sr. and Sara Paige Boyd. She was also preceded in death by her siblings, Delores Boyd Edgerton, Brenda Boyd Wright, and Miles Richard Boyd.

Marlene joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church at an early age, where she was known for her angelic voice in the church choir. She was a 1973 graduate of Kings Mountain High School in Kings Mountain, NC. She pursued a bachelor’s degree in Early Education at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, NC. The majority of her working life was spent as a Substance Abuse Program Manager for the Department of the Army. She was known for her quick wit, joyful spirit, and love of conversation. She was always ready with a laugh, a story, or an encouraging word.

Marlene was a devoted mother to her daughter, Dr. Latrice Hogue. She is also survived by her siblings, Valerie Boyd; her twin, Arlene Boyd; Alta McDaniel (Thomas); and James Boyd, Jr. (Carolyn); former husband, Johnnie Hogue, Jr.; along with many extended family members and dear friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Marlene’s life was a testimony of faith, perseverance, and love. Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she is now at peace and resting in the presence of the Lord.

A memorial service will be held on February 28, 2026, at 12:00 PM at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, NC. The service will be live-streamed on YouTube @MtZionKM.

"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord… they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

— Revelation 14:13

    My deepest condolences to Trice and the family. With a heavy heart we will miss Marlene. It brought me great joy when we were able to reconnect after knowing each other for over forty years. When we had a chance to reconnect we're just like we had being communicating all along. Marlene was such a down to earth person,to know her was to love her. Trica U were the joy ofher life. I know U don't remember us because U were so very young back them when we lived in Oklahoma. During that time we knew your parents.I am grateful to God that he kept your mom to share your career. God has purpose in everything he does,often we can't understand why. Life is an appointed time for us all so we have to trust God even when we can't trace him. Peace,love and God's love!🫶🏽💔🙏🏾😇💕
