Philip W. Marston, age 94, a lifelong resident of Billerica, passed away peacefully surrounded by friends at Lowell General Hospital on Sunday, December 11, 2022.
He was born in Lowell on January 8,1928 and was the son of the late Philip E. and Annie (Palin) Marston.
Philip loved his home. This was his life, the comforts of a home built by family, where he sat by the wood stove. A skillful gardener, learned from generations of farmers, he continued the tradition. Philip always welcomed and enjoyed visits from his friends. He lived a good and peaceful life.
A Graveside service will be held on Saturday, December 17th at 10:00am at Westlawn Cemetery, 215 Boston Road, LOWELL.
