I worked with Marsha at the phone company for years and enjoyed her smile and laughter. She and I used to ride in her blue pickup and just talk and laugh. One of my favorite pictures of my daugher is with Marsha taken 28 years ago. She had a heart of gold. My sympathy goes out to her family. Kristi Boster Gersch

I am going to miss Marsha very much and am so sad I did not get to see her before she went to be with the Lord. She was the sweetest lady I ever knew. She will be missed dearly.
Crystal Wong Shors says
At Halloween, Marsha would wear a witch costume to work which she and all of us enjoyed very much. My memory of Marcia at work and in life was how hard she tried, how cheerfully she tackled change and obstacles. We had a pleasant visit last time I saw her, but I could see how tired she was. I’ll remember her smile and her sweetness. I wish comfort to her family.

Am so sorry to hear about Marsha’s passing. What a wonderful person she was. We worked together at the phone company and Marsha and my mom, Dorothy Schledewitz, worked together. Marsha always had a big smile and we had a lot of laughs. My mom received a Christmas card and a nice note each year. Marsha will certainly be missed.
Juleah Ryder says
I will never forget Marsha. She was one of the most giving people I have ever met. She had a heart for people and would go out of her way for a friend. She also loved animals- but most of all she loved dogs. My husband and I would refer to her as Aunt Marsha to our dogs and they knew who we were talking about. She had so many good qualities. I will miss her terribly but I know that she is in a better place with her Lord and Savior.

My thoughts and prayers are with Marsha’s Family at this time. I had a chance to visit Marsha while she was at St. Petes a couple of weeks ago and in true Marsha fashion – she didn’t want anyone making a fuss over her. She was one of the nicest people you could ever meet and her laughter was contagious. God has added another angel to his team. God’s Blessings to all of you at this time.

I haven’t seen Marsha since graduating with her at TFHS. Back then, she impressed me as a very kind, giving and caring person. I can only imagine she was one of the best friends anyone could have. I am praying for her family and friends and consider myself blessed to have known Marsha at all.

Marsha was a great classmate – always kind, gentle, and caring. Since graduation, I had only seen Marsha a few times, but she stayed entirely true to herself. It is with sadness the physical world is left without this beautiful person, and I extend my prayers and sympathy to her family and close friends as they cope with her loss. May the love of family and friends help you with this journey.
