Marsha Vadala Obituary
February 11, 1943 - December 3, 2024
Tacoma, Washington - Marsha passed away on December 3, 2024 at the age of 81. She was born on February 11, 1943, in Port Angeles, WA, the first child of Guy and Virginia Montgomery. The family moved to Seattle in 1950 and then Tacoma in 1955, where Marsha graduated from St. Leo's High School. She worked in the banking profession for many years. Marsha and her former husband Joseph Vadala had two children, Donavan and Julie, both of whom were loved very much. For many years they resided in Gig Harbor, WA.
Marsha was preceded in death by her daughter Julie and parents Guy and Virginia. Survivors and supportive family include her son Donavan (Kate), granddaughters Ashlee Young (David) and Maggie Brennan (Carver), sisters Connie Condon (Dave), Susan Bustard (John), and brothers Greg Montgomery (Terri) and Jeff Montgomery (Sharon). She will be inurned at Calvary Cemetery in Tacoma. A private family celebration of her life will take place at a later date. Rest in peace, dear Marsha. We will always love you.

I worked with Marsha at PSNB!!! It was in the later 60´s and early 70´s!!! She was always fun and a joy to work with. I helped out at my branches and now cannot remember which branch she worked or even could have been Main office which we called the one on Pacific Ave!!! During "those" days, if you worked at "the bank" for any time, you got to meet and know most employees!!
May she love her heavenly home!!!
