Irene Marshall, 91, passed away Jan. 2, 2016, at her home with her family surrounding her with abundant love and surrender to eternal life in Heaven.
Irene was born Irene Hope Elliott on Feb. 10, 1924, in Portales, NM to Robert Henry and Goldie Vica (Porter) Elliott.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers John Henry Elliott, Wayne Elliott, and a sister Natalie Olmsted; her son Elliott Marshall; daughter, Margaret Marshall; and grandson Rodney Marshall.
On Sept.12, 1941, she married Wayne Franklin Marshall in Portales.
Survivors included her husband of the home, three children.
Also surviving were eight siblings; 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She left many nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.
Irene lived most of her young life in eastern NM where she completed high school. She then moved with her family to Las Cruces, where she completed two years of college while raising her family.
Irene had many adventures in her life, she prided herself in having such a large, loving Christian family, she and Wayne loved to fish, grow vegetables, can and preserve foods, and collect arrowheads as they walked many miles in the NM desert looking for treasures.
The highlight of her year was always the annual family reunion. This is when she shared stories, cooked goodies, spent time with her siblings and all of the Elliott Clan. This was also when she showed her strong talent in the Skillet Throw, the true Elliott sport.
Irene was an avid quilter, seamstress, reader, and enjoyed growing and tending to flowers. Her favorite flower was the iris.
Irene thought her greatest legacy was her children, grandchildren and great- and great-great grandchildren.
She also loved dogs and you would find one of her Pekingese dogs by her feet as she sat to read, do crossword puzzles, or while working on her table top puzzles with her sons.
Most importantly, Irene lived her life as a strong Christian woman. She always lived her life with true Christian example.
Services were officiated by her pastor, David Stewart at Getz Funeral Home. Burial followed the service at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
Honorary pallbearers were Larry Marshall, Eric Inman, Richard Marshall, Marcus Chormicle, Carlos Chormicle, Michael Leach, and Steven Austin.
Arrangements were by Getz Funeral Home.
