Tony Marshall

Buster, Sr.

Tony Marshall Buster, Sr., age 84, of Heidelberg, Mississippi passed away November 12, 2026 at Summerland Manor in Bay Springs, Mississippi surrounded by his loving family.

Tony was born July 9, 1942. He graduated from Stringer High School in 1960. He then pursued his dream of becoming a pharmacist at the University of Mississippi where he earned his degree in pharmacy in 1965. He humbly dedicated over 54 years of his life working as a pharmacist and serving the community. Respected and loved by many, he will be remembered for selflessly helping many people. He was known for always putting others first and genuinely caring about the well-being of those around him. Mr. Buster served the town of Heidelberg as a longtime active board member. Tony loved the Lord and was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and loyal friend to so many. Outside of his career and family, he had a passion for hunting, fishing, and rooting on the Ole Miss Rebels. Tony's kindness, strength and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him. The family takes solace in knowing though his health struggles have been difficult in recent years, he is now resting in the arms of Jesus reunited with his late son, Shane Bryant Buster.
