William E. Marshall, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully at his home in Reinholds on August 27, 2025, at the age of 70. Born on August 9, 1955, in Reading, he was a son of the late George H. and Anna M. (Miller) Marshall, and the loving husband of 46 years to Kathy (Fisher) Marshall.
William dedicated the majority of his life to hard work, spending many years at Super Value in their warehousing department. He later transitioned to Four Seasons, where he continued to contribute until his well-deserved retirement in 2018. William had a variety of interests that enriched his life. He enjoyed a round of golf on occasion with friend, and he was a passionate supporter of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles. His true delight, however, came from spending quality time with his family, especially his cherished grandchildren. William's love for his family was evident in every moment he shared with them, creating lasting memories that will be cherished by all. Those who knew William remember him not just for his work ethic, but also for his vibrant personality. A natural jokester, he brought laughter and joy to all whom he encountered, leaving a lasting impression with his humorous spirit and warm heart. William will be deeply missed, but he will always be remembered for the joy he brought into the lives of those around him. His spirit will continue to resonate within the hearts of his family and friends, reminding them of the laughter and love he so generously shared.
William is survived by his loving wife, Kathy Marshall; his two daughters, Danielle Kowalski and Alicia (Charles Jr.) Fritz; four grandchildren, Dana and Alex Kowalski and Janelle and Charles Fritz III; and his brother, Wilbur Marshall.
