Marsha Jean Hill

Marsha Jean Hill, a beloved matriarch and gentle spirit, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, in West Branch, MI, at the age of 74. She was born on July 16, 1950, in Ste. Saint Marie, MI, to Gordon Campbell and Jean Lenk (Sipniewski). Marsha's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, kindness, and creativity. She was and affectionately known as “Grandma Chippy”. 

Marsha was a devoted mother, cherished by her children John, JoAnn, Jason, July, and Jamiean. She poured her heart into nurturing her family, always making them feel special and loved. Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren, Megan, Jenah, Jaydin, Mirranda, Spenser, Julian, Jude, and William, and great-grandchildren, Skyla, Luke, Bentley, Carter, and Avrie. Each of them carries a piece of Marsha's warmth and love, forever inspired by her caring nature.

As a daughter and sister, Marsha was equally devoted. She leaves behind her loving mother, Jean Lenk, and her brothers Gordan and Donald, and family, who will miss her kind spirit and joyful laughter. Marsha also had many nieces and nephews who looked up to her as a guiding light in their lives.

She is preceded in death by her father, husband John Hill, and granddaughter Madison.

Marsha was not only a loving family member but also an artist at heart. Her proudest accomplishments included her love for cooking, music, and art, as well as her appreciation for the great outdoors. She brought joy into every gathering with her culinary creations, filling the air with delicious aromas and the warmth of her hospitality. Her talent in the arts reflected her vibrant personality, while her love for music brought harmony into her home.

A kind and caring soul, Marsha had a unique way of touching everyone she met. Her laughter, thoughtful words, and generous spirit created lasting impressions that will resonate among friends and family for generations.

As we remember Marsha Jean Hill, we celebrate a life beautifully lived—a life rich with love, creativity, and the indelible mark of a kind heart. She will be dearly missed, yet her spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Per her wishes, cremation has taken place.
