Marsha and Patti Morgan

It is with a sad heart that I share with you that Marsha Freed passed away peacefully Friday evening, 12/28. Her daughter, Susan , wishes for garden club members to know.

Susan Freed is taking time to be alone. There will be a gathering of friends to celebrate Marsha's vibrant presence in our lives in the near future. Susan's address is P.O. Box 2044 if you wish to send condolences.

comments:

From Bronwyn Jones: I have so many fond memories of my conversations with Marsha

when she would come into the nursery to buy native plants for her

garden, memories of her smile and warm hugs when we would

meet at the Garden Club monthly meetings.

Yes, I will miss you, dear Marsha, and YES, I am so glad to have

known you and shared our mutual love of gardening over the years.

Sending much love your way,
