Marsha Dotson Obituary
Marsha passed away with her beloved family surrounding her, shooting off to the moon. Mom lived a life of service to others, especially her family, St. Jude, ESA International, and many local charities. Mom had a trust and unconditional love for her young people to the end. She is the holder of the best grandma secrets ever!
We will be having a celebration of life on September 30, 2022, her birthday! Visitation will be held from 5:00-6:30 PM and services will be held from 6:30 – 8:00 PM at Broomhead Funeral Home, located at 12600 South 2200 West, Riverton UT. 84065.
Please wear colorful clothing!

I love Marsha perhaps in part because as long as I can remember she has always been so kind and loving to me. Marsha is my father's first cousin which makes us first cousins once removed. Marsha loved her "Watts" family. She loved to gather all her children and grandchildren and anyone else who wanted to belong and take them to the Canyon and Jolly's Ranch for our annual reunion.
Every time I saw her she was always smiling and happy. I do remember a couple of years ago when she couldn't find a trailer to rent for the reunion she slept in her car one night. If I remember correctly it wasn't her best nights sleep!
I would say a word that describes her well is "lovingkindness." She had a generous spirit, she loved to have fun and laugh. I will miss her but look forward to when we meet again.

I worked with Marsha at the state. She was always my friend and we had some good times together. I was honored when she came to my retirement party after I worked 46 years. One of my best memories of Marsha is when I was attending a high school reunion for Springville High. I only knew my sister in law but after dinner Marsha stood up and said something. I didn't know she was in the same class. I went up behind her and put my hands over her eyes. I don't know who was more surprised, Marsha or me. She said, what are you doing here? After that, I would always seek her out at the class reunions. Marsha was a very special person and I'm glad that she was in my life. I will miss her terribly and my sympathies are with her family. I agree with her about wearing bright colors and I for one, will NOT be wearing black at the celebration of her life!

I've known Marsha for a few years now, (ever since Mike married my sister Janice). Marsha really touched my heart. She had a beautiful youthful soul. I'll miss our "Wordfeud" chats and games, and I'm glad we got to visit Yellowstone together... Rest in Peace my dear friend...

I worked with Marsha at the State, and she was a wonderful friend to me. I could not have asked for a better boss. Grateful our friendship continued after we both retired. She Loved her family dearly and was always watching out for them. I hope your family can find comfort and peace at this difficult time. I know it is so hard to lose a loved one. Love you Marsha.
