Marsha was born Sept. 7, 1951, in Fargo, N.D. Her family lived in Bismarck, N.D., and Jamestown, N.D., for a short time before moving to Hettinger, N.D., in the early 1960s to make their home. She graduated from Hettinger High School in 1969. She attended college in Dickinson, N.D., and Billings, Mont.
Marsha was primarily a homemaker and hosted several cattle drives beginning right at their ranch in Montana. People came from all over the world to experience the ranching life. She loved to substitute teach, cook, can, dehydrate food, read, knit, garden, volunteer and play games on her computer. She had a soft spot for her pets and all animals. It was not uncommon to find a baby calf, goat or even chicken in the house she was caring for along with the house cats and dogs. The pride and joy of her life were her grandchildren, Chase, Kourtney and Jacob. She and her husband, Gene, raised Chase, from elementary school through graduation of high school.
