Although Marsha was unfortunately unable to have relationships with her first two sons, or any of her worderful grand-children, their hearts and love go out to her, and they will always be ever so sorrowful, for not being able to share in Marsha's life, and feel the deepness of the love we all know She carried in her heart for each and every one of her children, and grand-children equally.

Marsha was a long time employee of First Student of Columbia/Centralia, where she enjoyed her time with children each day, and always felt blessed to help guide them in their ventures toward adulthood.

Unfortunately Marsha was unable to rise above her cancer, and passed into eternal rest while at Boone Hospital in Columbia.

She will forever remain in our hearts and memories, as we must continue on in this world, with heavy hearts and the pain of losing her, but when our time comes and we are called home to the Lord, we will see her again, and the Lord will make right, all that has pained us.

May she find peace with the Lord, now and forever.
