Marsha was born January 21, 1947 in Danville, Pennsylvania, the daughter of the late Jay Wertz and Bettie {Tillinghast} Wertz - Dunkelberger.

Marsha worked as an LPN for many years in both Chicopee, Massachusetts and Tampa, Florida. She retired and lived in Tampa, Florida.
She was a volunteer for the Rough Rider's Teddy Bear Run, Shriner's hospital and various other Gasparilla-krewe in Tampa.
