Chuck and Lucille were married March 2, 1962, in Dillon, S.C., and had just celebrated their 51st anniversary.
The Marshall family traveled around the United States until retirement in June 1999, retiring to Goldsboro to be close to family.
She loved her family, traveling, making jellies, listening to music, dancing, sewing, gardening and watching the birds and squirrels play. Anyone who knew Lucille knows she would "say what she meant and mean what she said," while always loving deeply.
