August 04, 1950 -- November 13, 2022

Marsha Lynn Nolan, Age:72

Marsha Nolan passed away quietly on Sunday, November 13, 2022. 

 
She is predeceased by her parents, Pauline and Edward Cox, who made their residency in Middletown, Ohio, when Marsha was one month old. Marsha graduated from Middletown High School (’68) at the top of her class. Marsha went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at Ohio State University, where she was inducted into the national freshman women’s scholastic honor society, Alpha Lambda Delta. Marsha later earned a Master of Taxation from Capital University Law School, in Columbus, Ohio. Marsha employed her math skills in the Trust Departments of Chase and Huntington Banks in Columbus, OH, and for Thompson Reuters in Chicago, IL. 
 
Marsha was a perfectionist in all she attempted. In addition to her career, she was accomplished in fiber-art crafts and hand-smithed jewelry. She also diligently pursued the family genealogy. Marsha enjoyed gardening and caring for a succession of pet cats that she and Steve adopted over their many years of marriage. Marsha was an enthusiastic puzzler; her clip-board often nearby.
 
Marsha is survived by her husband of 53 years, Steven Nolan of Evanston, IL, her daughter Emma Nolan (Charles MacEachen) of Portland, OR, her sisters Leslie Cox (John Lovegrove) of Tucson, AZ and Cheryl Krauss (Frederick Krauss d.) of New Albany, OH, as well as several cousins, nieces and nephews. 
 
 Marsha will be remembered for her remarkable perseverance in work and in life, attention to detail, and generosity to family. She is sorely missed.
