Obituary for Joan Ellen Marshall
Joan Ellen Marshall, 90, wife of the late Curtis G. Marshall Sr., passed away peacefully on October 18, 2022. She was the daughter of the late J. Fred Roth and Grayce V. Frankvert. In 1950 she graduated from J. P. McCaskey High School, Lancaster, PA. Then in 1952 she was a Nursing graduate of Church Home and Hospital, Baltimore, MD.
She was a long-time resident of Nyack and was co-owner of My Dollhouse with her late husband for many years. She was well known for her spirited concern in the retail interests of the village.
Raising her six children in Fairfield, Connecticut, she was known as the neighborhood nurse. Often other children would run away from their mothers to have their cuts and bruises attended to by Joan. She loved her crafts, most especially her needlepoint masterpieces while she enjoyed her evening Crème de Menthes. She was very active in her local church at that time as well with the local Girl Scout/Brownie troops. Joan was also renowned for being one of the very few women who could double clutch to downshift her VW Microbus up the Sasco Hill Road fully loaded with her children and their friends. Later in life she loved to work on her 1,000-piece puzzles; once done she’d look at it for barely a day, take it apart, put it away never to complete it again. She also tremendously enjoyed the children from the Montessori School of Nyack who would play in her yard and sing her songs.
She is survived by five of her six children: Curtis and his wife Mary, Gary and Victoria Grace, Alison and her husband Scott, Tracy and her husband Larry, Helen and her husband Paul; her daughter-in-law Melissa, ten grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and great nieces, nephews and great nephews, a cousin, and many dear and close friends. She was preceded in death by her youngest son Fred, her brother David and sister Valli.
At her request, donations may be made to the Freda Creutzburg Endowed Scholarship at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, please visit https://secure.jhu.edu/form/nursing.
