On July 20, 1976, she was united in marriage to Richard Gerard Haley, and they shared the last forty-two years.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother, Gary Barton.
Marsha is survived by her husband, Richard, of the home; two daughters, Shelly Brooke Wright, and her husband, Scott, of Pinella Park, Florida, and Stacey Daoust, of Whitehall, Michigan; six grandchildren, Autumn, Stacey, Rebecca, Cody, Faith, and Colton; six great-grandchildren; two brothers, Rick Bates, of Richland, Missouri, and Bill Bates, of Olean, Missouri; two sisters, Sharon Posten, of Richland, Missouri, and Carol Arms, of Houston, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was raised in the Roby and Success communities and attended Plato and Licking Schools. After she and Richard were married, they made their home in Michigan until moving to the Lebanon area in 2003. Throughout the years, Marsha was a devoted homemaker and a loving mother to her family. She also worked for the State of Michigan Developmental Center from 1975 until 1999.
Marsha had made her profession of faith in Christ and was a member of Garfield Avenue Church of God. Her faith was very important to her and she had a personal relationship with her Lord.
She liked going to flea markets, antiquing, and particularly loved home décor items. She also liked looking on Ebay for unique items of interest. She had a special love for her dogs, and dearly loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Marsha was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Muskegon Resuce Mission, and left at the funeral home.
