Marsha was born on July 21, 1943 in Logan, Utah, and was the fourth child of George Helm and Norma Smith Perry. She graduated from Logan High School in 1962.  She also attended special education classes where she met Wayne Harris who she married in 1978.  They had one daughter (Kami), but later divorced.  Marsha and her daughter lived with her parents and Marsha helped take care of them until their deaths.

I met Marsha at the senior center. I remember she liked cheesecake but often could not get any from the snack area because she rode the center bus which would not arrive until 10 am. Since the snacks went quickly and knowing she liked cheesecake, I would get her a piece and sit at my table keeping on eye on it so nobody else would get it. Marsha was always pleased to find it at her spot. She was always very nice and liked to read novels. I missed seeing her at the center when she stopped coming. I know the people who shared the same dining table with her miss her also. Many of them did not know about her death nor when the funeral was scheduled. It would have been nice for the senior center to have an area on the bulletin board to announce the passing of their clients.

Arbon Valley visit after 33 year absence

July 22, 2020
by Greg Perry
I had been talking with Marsha for quite some time about a road trip to the farm and when we were finally able to make the trip I could see the excitement in her eyes. And hear it in her voice when we started getting close. I didn’t know that it had been 33 years since Marsha had been to the farm when we started the journey. Once there I just let Marsha roam on her own. Myra Blau who had been living in the upper home for I believe 5 years & was the reason this home was still in a livable condition we had her to thank Dad (Merrill) had told me that if it wasn’t for Myra that house would’ve been condemned and not brought back to a livable state without her hard work five years previous when I met Myra years later she confessed that she had never paid any rent that’s how I found out about that story dad told me we had Myra to thank or that house would’ve never made it and that’s why he never charged her any rent. So Myra was ok with us walking through it without her presents. We enjoyed a snack and a cold soda out in the yard before we our return trip back to Logan. Ive always been grateful for that opportunity to spend time with my Dads sister Marsha on that Journey back to her home on the farm  after a 33 years absence
