Not sure what to say?

I was a caregiver for Marsha. She was a kind and thoughtful person. We would share meals together, and I was pleased she liked my cooking! I helped her gardening as well, and I will think of her when I tend to plants, as her connection to the elementals was truly inspiring.

Always enjoyed Marsha. She was a wonderful artist and I will treasure our memories. I have one of her prints . I was a hairstyles for many years . She was bright lite. So sorry for your loss. Always remembered.

Marsha was an important part of our life in Ashland, Oregon. She gave my father, Bill, a "second act" with their relationship, and we had many wonderful times together -my dad, her son Peter, and my wife Sharon. I´ve rarely met someone who was as interesting, interested, thoughtful and caring. Rest in peace, Marsha!

I always remember getting to visit with her at her store Holiday Magic. Always such a warm heart and and kind soul, always so enjoyable to be around. Such a lovely woman. <3

My mom, Bobbie Rice, loved working for her at Erwin's IGA over the years. Marsha was a lovely neighbor as well.

I knew Marsha through Glacier Valley Rotary. She was smart, funny and invariable cheerful. Her love and commitment to Juneau was obvious in everything she did and her generosity and wisdom will be missed.

I so enjoyed our friendship at Juneau High School, I will miss you.

Marsha was a bright and shining light in our class and Girl Scouts. A few years ago, I spent a week with her in Juneau. One night, after smelling smoke I woke her up. In our PJs, we traveled up the street to find the neighbor's house on fire. Engaging talks about her career and her hospitality were welcome. Many will miss her, including "The 5" and her family.
