Marsha McOsker Obituary

MCOSKER, Marsha

Marsha Gail Moore McOsker of Tucker, 73, passed July 17, 2024 after a brief illness. She is survived by the love of her life for 45 years, husband, Bob; sister, Melissa; niece, Blair and her husband, Jeremy and their daughter, Marissa; her sister-in-law, Alice and her husband, Benny; as well as numerous cousins. She was predeceased by her parents, Pierce and Ruby Moore of Decatur.

Marsha was a proud graduate of Decatur High School and Georgia State University, participating in many school activities including being an Alpha Xi Delta sister. She was bitten by the travel bug at an early age, traveling with her parents and sister and then later with Bob all over the world. Marsha also loved taking pictures, which often included animals of every kind.

Marsha loved life, which was apparent to everyone she met, and loved everyone she knew, from family to friends to neighbors, as they loved her too. Her smile, bright blue eyes, and energetic personality would draw you in from across the room. No one had more fun than Marsha, as her joy for life was infectious.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, July 28, 2024, at 2 PM, at Lucky Shoals Community Recreation Center, 4651 Britt Road, Norcross, GA.

In her honor, we are requesting that you wear bright colors to match Marsha's vibrant personality. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice, in her honor.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I will always remember Marsha and am grateful for the time we had together as High School sweethearts. I recall taking Marsha to the Fox Theater, Six flags over Georgia and the Black Cat Ball at Stone Mountain. I remember Pierce, Ruby and Melissa. I know the loss of Marsha saddens the hearts of many and I pray that the love and peace of God will comfort all of the family.

Marsha was ever a bright spot in my life from the very moment I met her many years ago. She was such a joyful friend. I will love her dearly forever.
