Marsha was born on August 31, 1943, in Kansas City, MO, to Larry and Sadie (Cohen) Osnower.  She attended and graduated high school in Kansas City, MO.  On April 17, 1960, Marsha married Gerald H.

Marsha enjoyed cooking and reading cookbooks, crocheting, creating crafts, attending swap meets, traveling in an RV, fishing, and camping.  She loved Elvis Presley’s music and collecting his memorabilia.
