Read MoreMarsha and I were close friends for over 30 years. She was such a special person with a great multitude of gifts, a desire to serve and a superb work ethic. I will miss her as long as I live but feel that she had made her peace and is in that most glorious of places. I am glad to know she is up there wishing us all well and watching over us.

What an incredible choral director and singer! I learned so much from Marsha Carlisle at Southwest Texas State University, and I feel blessed to have been one of her students. She had such an influence on those of us under her tutelage. God bless her.

Though all who knew Marsha Carlisle will miss her, we take comfort in knowing that the influence of the fruits of her personality, bright mind, thorough musicianship and dedication to the art and craft of teaching, will continue through her students as they perpetuate those musical principles so dear to her heart.

Marsha was always cheerful. I did testing with her last year and also "tardy duty" at the end of my hall. She always had a smile for everyone. She was thoughtful and considerate of each person she came in contact with. I will miss her and our little chats we had during our tardy duty time each day. She will not be forgotten. Judy McGrath

Marsha and I grew up together. "Aunt" Sissy and my Mother were best friends! We had so much fun in those early years. When I married, Marsha sang at our Wedding. I will miss her so much.

I was in her choirs back at MacArthur High School in the 1970s and was both encouraged and challenged by her. I have thought of her often through the years and her influence in my life and on my musical journey. I feel she encouraged and inspired excellence, which influenced my music and my character.

She was an amazing choir teacher who was always there for her students including me. She helped me through some tough things and work in choir and I will never forget. She will always be remembered in my heart. I loved her as a teacher and always will.
