Marsha received her education in Gibbon, graduating from Gibbon High school. She worked at various jobs and was a member of the Gibbon Baptist Church. Later when she moved to Grand Island she joined the Spirit of Life Church where she served as an usher. She loved her church family and was loved by them. Due to failing health she made her home at Wedgewood Care Center where she enjoyed playing bingo (and calling Bingo), playing cards and the craft room. Marsha enjoyed collecting jewelry and loved to show her family and friends her jewelry and telling them about each piece.
