Whitney Renee Marsh, 41, wife, mother and daughter, went home to the Lord on Thursday, November 1, 2018. Whitney, a life-long resident of Fort Smith, was an active member of the running, cycling and fitness community, a volunteer in support of children’s advocacy issues with CASA, a member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, and a close friend to many. Whitney was accomplished in many ways – a graduate from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, a certified gemologist, avid cook, and the youngest real estate Broker in the state of Arkansas at age 18 – though she was most fulfilled in her role as mother and wife.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. Michael Marsh, children Madison, Heidi, Nicholas, Sarah and Christopher, parents Connie Calhoun and Ron and Gaylene Calhoun, and siblings Stefanie Eoff Meyers, Kimberly Morgan, Melanie Bohlman, Barrett Calhoun and Clayton Calhoun.
A Vigil rosary service will be held at Immaculate Conception Church on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 7PM followed by a reception at the Immaculate Conception Youth Building. Her funeral mass will be held at Immaculate Conception Church on Monday, November 5, 2018 at 10AM. Services are under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Sebastian County CASA, 1216 Towson Avenue, Fort Smith, Arkansas 72901 or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, California 90266 are appreciated.
