He was also preceded in death by his wife, of 68 years, Myrtle Marie Marrs Marshall; two sisters, Pearl Marshall and Edna Marshall; and five brothers, Jesse, Clyde, Broadus, McCue, and Walter Marshall.
He served with the United States Army during World War II and was involved with the D-Day invasion. He was a stonemason by trade, working in and around Charlottesville, and his legacy is the work he completed that is still in use today.

The family expresses a heartfelt thank you to Dr. William Hammond and his staff for all the special care given to Mr. Marshall.
A funeral service will be held 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 27, 2010, at the Chapel of Hill and Wood. Interment will follow at the Maplewood Cemetery.
