Ms. Cleek:
I know there is great rejoicing in Heaven now that Ms. Marsh is home. She was my Sunday School teacher when I was a young child at First Baptist. God used her talents in so many special ways, but the one for which I will forever be grateful is the gift of teaching that lead me to Christ. She stood up with me in church the day I walked down the aisle, and I have cherished that memory for the past fifty years.
My mother, Georgia Rhea Collier, went to be with the Lord on February 20. She lived her whole life to arrive where she is right now — in the presence of God where she is able to sing His praises and experience unsurpassable joy each moment. I feel sure she was standing with open arms to welcome her Sister in Christ home.
May God Bless,

Some of my most special memories of Mrs. Marsh was
when she would ride to work with me sometimes in the
mid to late 70's. She would climb up in my Jeep and
we would bounce all the way to Holston Valley. We
would just laugh and have a good time on our way to
work. She was such a joy to work with and
such a treasure in teaching us in the Blood Bank.
Heaven just acquired a very special angel.
When we are sad, we can remember her smile and
her laughter and the sparkle in her eyes.

One of my long time friends has gone to be with Jesus. I am so thankful for the visit with her last week. She was alert and expressed her thoughts. We rehashed old times and talked about the future, which she knew was a short time here but was looking forward to a better home with friends and loved ones. So many great memories of her, riding to work each day then returning in the afternoon to share our thoughts for the day.
Lots of small things I still have that are reminders of her which she has given as birthday gifts. One is a travel alarm clock she gave me probably 40 yrs ago. I still carry that clock in my suitcase, it runs great and I use it in motels when traveling. Every time I wind the clock I think of Ms. Marsh and always will.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jo, Gary, Scott and all the family. She will be missed.

Mrs. Marsh was a mentor for me having been my Sunday School teacher during my critical teenage years. She inspired me to study God's word and to know Jesus personally. She encouraged all her students to get an education and to be the best they could be. She was a remarkable woman who had great influence on many lives. Mrs. Marsh always greeted me with a smile and a hug and I loved her dearly. Heaven just got a whole lot sweeter!

Dear Jo,
Marsh was an exceptional person and friend. Our trips spanned many years and places and were enjoyed by all.
Her knowledge of the blood bank was shared so willingly with the many medical technology students that passed through Holston Valley.
She will be missed. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.
