Patricia Marshall of Lansing, age 95, passed away Friday, July 5, 2024. Patricia was born in Detroit to Frederick Valentine and Alice (Fitzpatrick) Hauser. She graduated from St. Mary of Redford High School and Detroit Business University. Pat worked as a secretary for Fisher Body. She married Donald Gilbert Marshall at St. Scholastica Church officiated by Rev. Raymond J. Marshall, Don’s brother. Pat and Don had six daughters in Harper Woods, where they lived for 12 years. Pat and Don moved the family to Lansing in 1965. They were active at St. Gerard Parish where the girls attended school.

Pat’s devotion to our Blessed Mother and deep Catholic faith was evident in how she served her family and community.
