Katherine S. Marsh

Katherine (Kay) Marsh, 89, passed away, leaving behind a family and community forever touched by her love and kindness.

Born and raised in Troy, New York, Kay grew up alongside her brother, Jack, and sister, Jacqueline. Throughout her life, she was devoted to her faith, serving others, and the people she loved. Her musical talents brought joy to many and brought people together.

A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Kay was the proud mother of three children, Stephen Marsh, Cindy Marsh, and Sandy Marsh. She was a loving grandmother to Keenan and Jalan Welch, Kyli Tanner, Jake Levin, Abbey Pawluk, and Adam and Connor Marsh, as well as six great-grandchildren.

Her faith was central to her life. An active and dedicated member of Eagle Harbor Methodist Church, she served as the church organist and pianist and participated in numerous Bible study groups throughout the years.

Her home was the heart of the family, the setting for countless childhood memories, family gatherings, and moments shared across generations. She was the glue that held everyone together, always welcoming family with a smile, a helping hand, warm conversation, and one of her unforgettable tight hugs.

After retiring from Kodak, Kay continued pursuing her passion for cameras and photography, a love she passed along to many of her children and grandchildren.

Kay will be remembered for her generous spirit, steadfast faith, welcoming home, and unconditional love. Her legacy lives on through the family she held so close and the countless memories she created. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
