(Tommy) Marsh, Jr. during the latter years of their 18 years of marriage, they enjoyed worshipping together at Celebration Church.

Mrs. Marsh had a deep love for music that became a lifelong passion. She was a gifted pianist and organist, sharing her talents generously with her church, community, and everyone who had the joy of hearing her play. Whether accompanying a choir, leading hymns, or playing for her own enjoyment, her music brought comfort, joy, and inspiration to all who listened. In addition to her love of music, she found great fulfillment in singing both as a soloist and as part of choirs and community groups, lifting her voice in harmony and praise throughout her life.

Mrs. Marsh established a Baptist Church in Page, Arizona where she and her sister, Dorothy Quattlebaum, played the piano and organ in early 1960's. After moving back to South Carolina in the late 1960's, she reunited with her home church, Sardis Baptist Church, where she continued to bless many with her musical abilities for many years playing the piano and singing in the choir. During this time, she became an independent business woman opened a woman's clothing store, "Margee's", on the main street in Batesburg, where she spent approximately 30 years serving and dressing her loyal customers and friends.

She was also a proud and dedicated member of the Order of the Eastern Star, where she built lasting friendships and lived out her commitment to service, faith, and charity. Her kindness, grace, and steadfast spirit touched many lives within the organization and beyond.
