So sorry I have just become aware of Marsha's passing. I worked with her at Mobil, Crude Unit for many years, and have just retired myself, a few years ago. I consider myself fortunate to have known her. A very generous loving person to work with, and quite interesting to talk to. I feel very bad to not have kept contact. About 3 years ago, she had Dave Orens bring some goat cheese over to my home. I miss her, and will never forget her.

I will never forget taking Marsha to Reading Terminal Market. Marsha on the high speed line was a riot. We had great times kayaking & fishing in my lake. It was a privilege and an honor to have Marsha in my life. I miss my friend.
