CONRAD MARSHALL

MARSHALL CONRAD JOSEPH MARSHALL Conrad Joseph Marshall who practiced law in McLean, Virginia for over 50 years, passed away at his home in Great Falls on December 6, 2017. Beloved husband of Mary Elizabeth "Betsy" Marshall, loving father of Andy Marshall, Amy Marshall-Ruschaupt, and Chris Marshall, son of Casimir Mszanowski and Helen Ladowski-Mszanowski, and devoted brother of Casey Marshall, Barbara Reszkowski, and Dolores Ward, Conrad is also survived by his grandchildren, Abby and Kirsten Ruschaupt, son-in-law Chris Ruschaupt, and daughter-in-law Tanya Kaufman. Conrad was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania where he was proud to have saved lives as a lifeguard on the Peninsula at Presque Isle. After graduating from Erie's Cathedral Prep, he earned an undergraduate degree at Gannon University (where he was a member of the TKE fraternity), a master's degree in journalism at Penn State, and a J.D. at Catholic University. Conrad, one of the very first attorneys in McLean, was devoted to his community, and was extremely active in local, state, and national politics. In the 60's, Conrad marched with the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. in Washington D.C. and worked for John and Bobby Kennedy. Conrad was a fixture in Fairfax County and Virginia Democratic politics in the 70's and 80's, including a term as Chairman of the Fairfax County Democratic party. Conrad worked tirelessly in the establishment of the McLean Community Center and played a central role on the campaigns of former Fairfax County Supervisor Rufus Phillips for Supervisor, Congress, and U.S. Senate, as well as Chuck Robb for Governor and Senator, Jimmy Carter for President, and many more. He ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in 1980. Conrad was a committed environmentalist and could often be found fishing for smallmouth bass on the Potomac River, where he built a home with his wife of over half a century, Betsy, whom he absolutely adored. Relatives and friends are invited to attend viewings on Friday, December 15 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at Money and King funeral home at 171 W. Maple Ave. Vienna, VA, as well as a funeral mass on Saturday, December 16 at 11 a.m. at St. Luke Catholic Church, 7001 Georgetown Pike, McLean, Virginia followed by a reception from 12 to 3 p.m., also at St. Luke.
