Marsha Durham Obituary
Marsha Kay Durham, a woman who lived life with contagious joy and unwavering love, passed away on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the age of 64, due to a motorcycle accident. Born on March 12, 1960, Marsha's presence brought warmth and light into the lives of all who knew her.
Known for her unwavering love for her kids and grandbabies, Marsha's (Nannie’s) maternal instinct and unconditional affection were evident in the way she cared for and nurtured her family. Her love knew no bounds, and she dedicated herself to creating lasting memories filled with laughter, song, and dance.
Marsha had a vivacious spirit and was never one to shy away from living life to the fullest. Her passion for motorcycles, decorating her home with lights and her pretties, and spreading joy through her infectious laughter were just some of the many ways she brightened the lives of those around her.
A stubborn, independent and strong-willed woman, Marsha faced life's challenges head-on, raising her two children single-handedly after the passing of her soulmate and always standing by the people she cared for no matter the circumstances.
Marsha is survived by her children, Angi (Brian) Siegele, Dustin (Jamie) Durham, Jessie (Steve) Schultz, and Scott Durham; grandbabies, Damon (Brianna), Shayna, Makia, Jada, Chloe, Kcin, Mia, Aaliyah, and Braxten; great grandbabies, Braylinn, Mia, and Baby Boy Schultz; siblings, Sheryl, Ev (Kathy), Duane (Stacy), Tammy (Matt); and siblings-in-law, Brett (Laurie), Cherry (Brian), Kitty (Jeff), and Lois.
Marsha was preceded in death by her husband and soulmate, Kirk Durham; parents, Lawrence and Lila; in-laws, Clyde and Lois; and brother-in-law, Vic.
A funeral Service for Marsha Kay will be held at Hoff Celebration of Life Center (3480 Service Dr. Goodview, MN) at 3pm on Thursday, October 24, 2024, with visitation beginning at 1pm. A Motorcycle procession to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery in Wilson, MN, will take place immediately following the funeral service.
