It was a warm and cloudless day on Tuesday, April 16th, 2023; the day that Marsha Marie Gaskill passed away from our world. Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on July 19, 1952 to Joseph and Helen Lukovsky, Marsha passed away at the age of 71 in Sun City, Arizona.
Throughout her life, she lived in many places in addition to McKeesport, including Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and Missouri, but it was in Fountain Valley, California where she spent a large portion of her life. After marrying Jack Pearce Gaskill in 1989 (the love of her life), she moved to there with Jack and her two daughters. After Jack’s passing in 2013, Marsha moved Arizona to be near her eldest daughter and help with raising two of Marsha’s four grandchildren.
Marsha was an accomplished woman, and held a Virginia Real Estate License, as well as Virginia Notary Public. She also volunteered an immense amount of her free time. She could often be found filling the roles as: Fountain Valley Cheer Newsletter Editor, Coast Guard Newsletter Editor, Coast Guard Ombudsman, Girl Scout Leader, PTO Board Member, Grief Share Leader, and a Religion Education teacher at Saint Clare of Assisi Catholic Parish.
Our loving mother and grandmother loved traveling, food (both cooking and baking), writing poetry, country music, musicals/plays, her dogs, and drinking lots of Diet Pepsi (her drink of choice). But most of all, she loved her grandchildren…she lived for her grandchildren. She often spoke about taking the granddaughters to Paris, and was involved in every noteworthy event in all her grandchildren’s lives.
Marsha is survived by her daughters Kelley (David) Nimmer and Jennifer (Daniel) Williams; older sister Joanne (John) Fitchet; her four amazing grandchildren Zachery, Makaylynn, Megan, and Madelynn; her niece Tina Fitchet, nephew Michael Fitchet, and her faithful labradoodle Bailey.
"But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself." -Psalms 49:15
