Marsha met and married the love of her life on June 4, 1960. Together they had six children.

Marsha had many jobs over the years, her favorites being AJ's Texas Hots (where she made lifelong friends) and her many years working at Chautauqua Institution in a variety of different roles.

Marsha enjoyed spending time with her family. Whether it be in a cutthroat game of Left, Right, Center or a game of spinners. She also enjoyed family picnics, sitting around a campfire, trips to North Carolina to visit her son, and she loved the casino!

Marsha cherished her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
