Janet E. Marshall, 82, of Dresden, passed away unexpectedly at Mid Coast Hospital on March 19.
She was born in Greenwood on June 22, 1934, a daughter of the late Vernon C. and Rita A. (Thurlow) Yates. In 1951 she moved to Bowdoinham where she attended Brunswick schools.
Janet married her late husband Roger Marshall from Bowdoin. They were married for 63 years before he passed in 2014. Together they had four children.
Janet was a “domestic engineer” who enjoyed spending time with her family especially her grand and great-grandchildren. Janet enjoyed going out to eat, puzzles and going to the family camp to spend time moose watching. She recently moved to Bowdoinham Estates where she reunited with many friends. She was a long time member of the Dresden Firettes Ladies Fire Aux.
Janet was predeceased by her parents; husband, Roger Marshall; son, Wayne Marshall; and grandson, Kevin Perkins.
Janet is survived by children, Laurie Marshall of Dresden, Randy Marshall and wife Cindy of Bowdoin, and Larry Marshall and wife Sally of Dresden; nine grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; siblings, Barbara Perkins of Bowdoinham, Natalie Smith of Brunswick, Vernon Yates of Apopka, Fla.; and many nieces and nephews.
There will be no funeral service at this time for Janet. A remembrance of her life will be held in the spring at Forest Hill Cemetery in Dresden.
