My family met this wonderful lady when I was but a child. We just had moved to the area and they came to visit and both she and Bud were steadfast friends from then on! She was honestly practically a second mother as she was MY mother’s best friend for the next 50 plus years! We will have her and the entire family in our prayers , and remember the years of friendships that continue to this day with other members of the family! Our deepest condolences and Love to the family!

Heart in memory of Lylis Jean Marsch
To all of Lylis family we extend our deepest sympathy at your time of loss. Memories are so vivid of this friend and her family in previous years. She and Bud were always very friendly and enjoyed life. It was fun for all to see the old ice house restored in her father’s memory and see how excited Lylis and Ray were to get it done. May God bless each and everyone of this great family. Fern and Ray Kirchner
