Arliss D. Marshall

Arliss Doreen Marshall, 79, went to be in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, Aug. 5, 2016.

Arliss Doreen Marshall

Arliss was born Aug. 20, 1936, in Noonan, N.D., the daughter of Paul and Ethel (Dihle) Lee. She spent her early years in Conway, Wash.

In 1956, Arliss met the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Marshall, and they were married in Conway in 1958.

Arliss graduated from Pacific Lutheran College and taught school in Mt. Vernon, Stanwood, and Arlington, Wash. The lure of Alaskan adventures for Bob brought their young family to Sitka, in 1968. Arliss taught or substituted at many of the Sitka schools from 1968 to 1984. She also spent numerous summers with Bob and their children commercial fishing the waters that surround Sitka.

After retiring, Arliss and Bob moved to Washington state before eventually returning to Alaska in 1997 to live closer to their son and family in Wasilla.

Over the years, Arliss was a deaconess in several churches and involved in many prayer, Bible, and Christian Fellowship groups.

Arliss loved music, played the French horn in high school and learned to play piano and the recorder in adulthood. She particularly loved to sing and during her life was active in several church choirs and local choruses, which included the Sitka Sweet Adelines Choir and the Mat-Su Community Chorus.

While in Wasilla, Arliss was very involved with Stonecroft Ministries in order to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Arliss was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Bob, and two siblings, Eugene Lee and Patricia Wood.

She is survived by her twin sister, Arlene McKellar, and siblings Wanda Benson and Ken (Cindy) Lee; and sisters-in-law Judy Lee and Mary Marshall.

Her three children and their spouses – Gwen (Phil) Younger, Chris (Kathy) Marshall, and Sally (Chuck) Roesel; her eight grandchildren, Jessica and Cole Younger, Patrick and Eric Marshall, Rhys (Christine), Ryan and Becca Kimmel and Amerena (Jeremy) Johnson; and two great-grandchildren, Ailee and Maddie Johnson also survive.

In addition to being a loving parent and grandparent, Arliss was a caring person with a contagious smile, ready laugh, and many friends. She knew the power of prayer and was always involved in prayer ministry, ministering to others wherever she went. Her example of faith, love, friendship, service, and a joy of living is her lasting legacy.

A celebration of her life will be held at Wasilla Bible Church at noon Aug. 27,  preceded by a visitation at 11 a.m.  followed by a luncheon.

Arliss loved flowers and they may be delivered as early as 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug., 27, to Wasilla Bible Church, 1651 W. Nicola Ave., Wasilla AK 99654 (907) 376-2176.

Arliss will be interred at Sitka National Cemetery 3 p.m. Aug. 29.
