Later, she graduated from Flagler College with a BA in Elementary education. She graduated from college & worked her entire life. Handicapped, legally blind, and bound by a wheelchair, Marsha endured more life struggles than anyone I know. Her inner strength to cope with struggles was a testimony to her faith and belief in God. She was a beacon of strength for others. In Marsha's greatest trials, our mother, Audrey, asked her: How do you live with your situation? Marsha replied, "When I think I cannot bear it any longer, I Pray to Jesus and find peace." Marsha is survived by her brother, Bob S. Jerritts, Sister, Linda J Douglas. Marsha's greatest treasure was her relationship with Jesus, family & friends.
