Marsha Ann Crosbie

Marsha Crosbie passed away on December 13, 2014 after a long, difficult and courageous fight with Ovarian Cancer. Marsha was born in Clinton Iowa on November 7, 1941 to George and Cleo Wall. She graduated from Clinton High School in 1960. Marsha was a nurse at Jane Lamb Hospital in Clinton and then a very loving wife, mother and grandmother to her family during a number of moves around the country and the world supporting her husband Dick and family. Marsha's caring and giving nature to all including her animals followed her on all those assignments as well as after retirement. After numerous relocations Marsha and Dick retired in Highlands Ranch, Colorado where they were fortunate to find many incredible and supportive friends and activities with the Littleton Retired Men's Club. Christmas was one of Marsha's favorite times of the year. She celebrated by extensively decorating the house inside and out for all to enjoy as well as having the family at home. We will as a family, with our friends, continue to celebrate her life and carry on the tradition of Christmas which Marsha loved so much, keeping her in our minds and hearts. Marsha also enjoyed Bridge and tried to find or organize Bridge games in all the places they lived but, most of all she was a pet whisperer, a huge football fan, a spoiler of Grandchildren, a role model, a great friend, a special person to all who knew her and our guiding star. It is hard to find the words to explain how great an impact she had on so many lives. Marsha is survived by her husband, Richard of 46 years, Son Brent Crosbie of Phoenix AZ, Daughters, Michelle and husband Stuart Winner of Courtice Ontario Canada, Susan and her husband Alex Perucchini of Highlands Ranch Colorado, Grandchildren Shayne, Justin, Lyndsey, Bryce, Blair, Jayleigh, Isabella, Ava, Brother Lon and wife Debbie Wall of Moline Illinois and Sister-in-Law JoAnn Grimm of Clinton Iowa. Marsha was preceded in her death by her parents and Brother Stephen.
