Marsha Urban Obituary

Marsha L. Urban, 71 of Connersville passed away on Sunday, August 3, 2025. She was born on February 19, 1954 in Connersville to Robert Osborn Jr. and Louise Hilbert Osborn.

Her nieces and nephews knew they could always count on Aunt Marsha to be there for them with an open door. Marsha loved taking care of flowers and taking photographs.
