REMEMBERING WENDY SUE MARSH

It was a very sad day on March 22, 2023, on this earthly world, but a glorious day in the heavens, as she graced them with her presence. We lost a beautiful and wonderful woman, Wendy Marsh, surrounded by her loving family at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Billings, Montana.

Wendy was born on November 30, 1965, in Red Bluff, California to Robert and Terry Gerig. She graduated from Big Valley High School in 1983. Upon graduation, she applied and was accepted at Chico State University, California. While attending the university, she became a “little sister” to the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

Wendy met the love of her life in 1983, Charles “Chuck” Marsh, on a beautiful afternoon, at the Knott’s Berry Farm a theme park in Buena Park, California. It was love at first sight and the couple soon married in 1984. Their first son Joseph, was born in 1985, in Fall River Mills, California and soon after the couple moved to Reno, Nevada, where the family was blessed with two more sons, William and Andrew. Chuck worked as an electrician for underground mining operations that produced silver, gold and platinum. His work took the family to various locations across the west. The family’s first adventure was moving to Lovelock, Nevada, then to Elko, Nevada before venturing off to Flat Rock, Michigan until finally settling in Miles City, Montana. When the family was in Lovelock, Wendy went to work for the local newspaper as an artist. She found this position to be most enjoyable, as each day would bring new challenges in the daily production of the paper. When the family settled in Miles City, she went to work for the Miles City Star Newspaper. She designed advertisements, circulars and special editions for twenty-two years. She was very creative when it came to crafts; making baskets out of newspapers, wreaths and other decorations from plastic grocery bags, homeopathic remedies for pets and a host of other products. She would sell these handmade items to purchase lifesaving drugs and therapy for her beloved
