Marsha Lynn Esterline

Born October 27, 1950, Marsha Esterline passed away peacefully at her home on July 2, 2025, with her beloved husband by her side. She was 74.

Marsha lived a life marked by deep love, fun-loving energy, and unwavering devotion to her family and faith. She was a devoted wife to Richard Esterline, with whom she shared decades of ministry, faithfully serving others side by side. Rick will always remember when God called Marsha to be his “helpmeet”—a moment as clear and sacred to him as the calling of Samuel. Together, they walked in obedience, building a life centered on grace, service, and enduring love.

She was a proud and loving mother to Bethany Bennett and David Esterline and found great joy in seeing her family grow. Her legacy lives on in her four cherished grandchildren—Ivan, Charlize, Ella, and Addie—and in her great-grandchildren, Calliope and Juno. Her presence was a gift to each of them, offering a steady stream of encouragement, warm humor, and deep affection.

Marsha’s zest for life included enjoying the pool with her grandchildren and friends and her well-known love for fast cars. She will also be remembered for her ability to make something out of nothing—her children and grandchildren treasure memories of her crafts and imaginative play. She could add life to any social event with her glowing personality, filling every gathering with laughter and warmth.

Marsha will be remembered for her infectious joy, her fun-loving spirit, and her readiness with a joke or a word of affirmation to lift the hearts around her. Her strength, compassion, and faith left a lasting imprint on all who knew her.

She will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

At the family’s request, please do not send flowers, cards, or donations. A private memorial will be held at a later date.
