Mr. Threatt, 100, of Marion, died Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Beehive Home of Marion.

Malcolm grew up in rural Newton County until he joined the Army in World War II. He served two years in India during the Burma Campaign.

After he farmed for several years, he moved his family to Marion, where he began a long career with the U.S. Sugar Crop Field Station until his retirement from civil service.

His commitment to public service extended into local leadership. He served Marion as an Alderman for 16 years and later as Mayor for 12 years, leaving a lasting impact on the community he loved.

A devoted man of faith, Malcolm was a long time member of First Baptist Church of Marion where he served as Deacon, Sunday School Teacher, and Director. Being able to sing in the Choir brought him great joy. He and Evelyn also shared their faith by teaching Sunday School at Bedford Care Nursing Home for 25 years.

Mr. Threatt is survived by his children, Andy Threatt, Arnold Threatt (Pam), Victor Threatt (Gayle), Ruth Young (Earl), and Lashley “Pete” Threatt (Debbie); 18 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren; one sister, Cookie Montgomery (Robert), sister-in-law, Jeanette Rawlinson; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

He is preceded in death by his wife of over 76 years, Evelyn Ruth Lashley Threatt; his son, James Wynn Threatt; his parents, Robert Stamp and Clara Threatt; and his sisters, Elaine Branning, Dean Hodgins, and Lynda Jayroe.

Pallbearers will be the Deacons of First Baptist Church of Marion.

The Threatt Family suggests memorials be made as donations to First Baptist Church of Marion in lieu of flowers.

The Threatt Family would like to express special appreciation to The Staff and Employees of Beehive Home of Marion as well as the Staff and Nurses at Accent Hospice Care for their exceptional care and compassion during Mr. Threatt’s last few months.
