She was born in Schenectady, New York and lived in the town of Chautauqua, New York for many years with her family. She loved Chautauqua Institution and spent time there each summer.

She graduated from Westminster College, PA in 1971 with a B.A. in History, and attended Buffalo State College for her Master’s degree in Student Personnel Administration.

Our family and her friends will miss her companionship, humor and love.

Marsha’s zest for life included a love of gardening, Broadway musicals, movies and simply sitting on the beach. She was an avid reader, and especially loved volunteering at the Cat Angel Network in Pottstown and Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua, New York. She has always been a loyal friend and loved game nights, cards and just a good meal! With all her interests, Marsha always found time to help others and be of service. Marsha was loved by many, many people for her compassion, sense of humor and energy for life.
