ANDY ROSS DILLEY MARSHALL

So sorry to read that Andy had passed. I admired her as she was so thoughtful of others. I was impressed by how she endured so much pain but never complained. She was a fine example to me and I will always remember her. I hope her last hurrah was painless.

One more Andy story, and then I am done.
Every Thanksgiving Malcolm would go duck hunting in Maryland or somewhere with old friends. Andy and the kids would stay home and have Thanksgiving at their house.

One Fall day Andy recruited Mom (Viney Tomb) to help her explore the water way near Plymouth Plantation south of Boston. They took a canoe, and paddled over to where the embankment was that lead up to the base of the Plymouth Plantation area. Once Andy knew the route, she was...

The Marshalls house was always open to the neighborhood kids, both the Ruthven Road house and Waterston Road too. The neighborhood kids were always welcome to come over and just chill out. Sometimes you would walk in and no one was home, so you would settle down in front of the TV by yourself.
Andy always had a project going. I remember the golf cart. Golf carts were not legal vehicles on Massachusetts roads, but Andy wanted to license and drive her cart as a licensed vehicle. The...

As a kid I rode an elephant and a camel down Waterston Road because of Andy Marshall. And had the life scared right out of me with her chicken livers on Halloween! What a cool neighborhood mom. She had vim and vigor with a capital V. God bless.

Andy was such an influence for good fun, loved the children and welcomed everyone with open arms. We were fortunate to have the Marshalls there. Esther Schleifer

Never one to pass on ceremony, everything Andy Marshall did was done with vim and vigor! My fondest of memories will always centered around the 4th of July. At precisely, it MUST be precisely, noon...up the stairs to the widow's walk she went..closely followed by the Fourth Faithful; down came the British flag, up went the origional American colors and it all ended with a florishing shout of "Hurrah!" Ring the bell, feed the family and friends, shoot off the fireworks, find a place to sleep...

Before the Marshalls moved to Waterston Rd (and bought that cool trampoline), they lived at Park St and Ruthven Rd, across the street from us. What Andy did for us was incalculable: when our mother developed liver cancer and died 6 months later, Andy quietly delivered food inside our back door every few days . .for months and months. There was the new dish, with a little sign saying "Just Heat 'n Eat." You were such a friend and neighbor for our parents. Thank you, Andy!

Andy was an amazing woman!! I am so glad i got to know her. What a sense of humor and a bit outragious!!!!! She embraced life with a passion that was always there for all to see!!!
