Condolences and prayers to you my sister, my nephew, and my brother. Ms. Pennamon as I always affectionately called her was truly a light to us all. One thing thing I will always remember her by is the joy she had in not only nourishing peoples minds with her knowledge and passion for teaching, but also always making sure everyone was ok and if they ate any food today lol. She was big on nourishing your mind and body. She will be truly missed. Love you all.

It has taken me so long to share a memory of my Aunt Marsha on here. It's still hard to believe I won't see that cute smile or hear say "Hey Pooh". One thing we enjoyed outside of traveling is FOOD :-) Oh my goodness. She would come to my house for dinner and just swing her feet while eating (Kitchen table was tall) with pure enjoyment. I'm sure everyone can smile relate to their own similar moments with her. The love she has for my family is unmatched. I say this because Marsha's my aunt because we share someone special my cousin/sister Joy. It has always been assumed she was one of my parents Sibling, which I never corrected.

My Aunt Marsha will truly be missed.

There are no words to express how deeply saddened I was to hear of Marsha’s passing. Joy and Caleb, you were gifted with an amazing mother and grandmother. I met and had the pleasure of working with Marsha over 25 years ago. She was so kind to me and supportive over the years. Some years later, I had the opportunity to work side by side with both Marsha and Joy. I truly enjoyed every minute of working with you both. Marsha was a wonderful person and will truly be missed.❤️🕊

I am named after Itsy...she's the original Marsha. It is extremely hard to process that she is no longer here in physical form. Itsy was like the quiet storm. Never boastful or loud, but always making moves and leveling up. You would never know what degree or class she was completing ..all there would be is another graduation or accomplishment. She taught me by example to get things done. To make things happen and execute the plan. She was also one of the most stylish women ever... she always dressed the part and was a reflection of confidence, professionalism, and grace. Itsy spoke the truth and would soften the blow with a friendly smile and a quiet joke. She consumed books, and sometimes I didn't think she was acually reading, but merely turing pages. It was like a thirst for knowledge and literature that she would eventually share with her students. She is someone that I thought would be here forever. And in my heart she will be. I can only pray to live up to the name we both share. Love you and Rest In Paradise💕

I have known Marsha since I was in high school. She has been a staple in the family for decades. She and my late mom shared a special bond like mother daughter. I will truly miss her presence.
