It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Sue Marshall on Monday, September 9, 2024 at her home in Atlanta, GA. Linda was born November 17th, 1949, in Santa Fe, NM, to John Marshall and Marie Marshall. The family lived in Albuquerque where Linda and her younger sister, Janet Marshall, both attended public school and where she met many of her closest friends with whom she stayed in contact throughout her life.
Linda married and then moved to St. Charles, MO with her husband and two children. It was there she joined Sweet Adelines, a women's barbershop chorus. When she divorced and she and her children moved back to Albuquerque, she joined the Sweet Adelines chapter there as well. She was very active in the group and was an assistant director for some time. Through Sweet Adelines, she also helped establish a young women's chorus. Linda was also a member of P.E.O., an organization dedicated to empowering women and furthering women's education. Through these groups, Linda made many close friends and was able to devote her time to causes near and dear to her heart.
Linda is survived by her two children, Erin Marshall and Andrew Marshall, both of whom live in Atlanta, GA. Sadly, this year also saw the passing of her younger sister, Janet Thomson, who is survived by her children, Amy Houstoun and John Thomson, both in Dallas, TX. There is no planned service for Linda Marshall, however, if you would like to make a donation in her name, two of her favorite charities were Doctors Without Borders and the Albuquerque Community Foundation.
A personal note from her daughter:
Nothing I write here can ever convey how special my mother was. Mom didn't go through life making huge waves or rocking the boat, she just quietly sat at her desk or her kitchen table and made the world better and easier for so many people. She was gentle, kind, thoughtful, and very funny. Her friends and family were the most important things to her, and she nurtured and treasured her friendships all her life. She was an incredible single mother who worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. It was serendipitous that mom decided to move out to Atlanta this year. It gave me and my brother these last precious months in which we were able to spend more time with her and take care of her as her health got worse. I miss her so very much, as does everyone who knew her.
