Not sure what to say?

I met Marsha decades ago when she called me, asking to rep my haircare products. After that we worked & traveled together for mine as well as several other international companies in the US & Canada & played along the way.

My heart aches for my trade show buddy, her husband Dave & Toyota 2? I pray they all know my love & remember our times of laughter & fine food!

Dear Linda and family:
I am saddened to learn the loss of your sister.
May fond and happy memories guide you through trying times.
God bless,
Jay Riordan

Marsha was my friend and my happy hairdresser for over 36 years...I am shocked and deeply saddened at her passing. Rest your tired feet, Marsha, and live on in our hearts.

I am stunned and can't imagine not having Marsha with us anymore. My husband recommended Marsha to me and she was equally adept with problematic hair. My first haircut with her was 35 years ago and I never went to anyone else. We shared a lifetime of funny stories, sad stories and mutual support. I was so proud of her many accomplishments and know the community has lost a great citizen.

We've known Marsha for 20 years, first with Bergfruende ski club and then as the Happy Hairdresser for Steve and Kevin. We'll miss you. Cindy Layport and Steve Herring

My best memories of my adult life always involved Marsha. First, my hairdresser & then a friend for life! Countless hours at her home off Cedar Hills Blvd..trips in the black Trans Am to the mountain and many trips to Bend. Oh..the 'good ol days'. I treasure those memories like it was yesterday. Marsha was a unique force in my life & i'll miss her til we meet again.

So sorry to have lost such a terrific friend.

Marsha, I will miss hearing the voice mails you left for us, "Hello Punkin Pies, it's Marsha. I'm in my stalking mode to talk to you, I'll try your cell phones next." Always made us laugh. Taco Tuesdays are over, I'll miss the times we sat side-by-side crunching our tacos into a taco salad. You always went out of your way for us and others, finding ways to bring people together for the benefit of everyone. Always checking to be sure Shelley and I weren't along on holidays. I never knew...

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I am so saddened. We worked at Clancy's Ice Cream Parlor in high school and I got to see the real Marsha....warm heart and great since of humor. I missed seeing you and getting my ears lowered when I moved to Southern Oregon. Rest in peace my friend.
