Shirley's Obituary
Shirley Anne Crocker Marvosh, age 78, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2024, in Great Falls, MT. Shirley was born on May 30, 1945, to Arthur and Alice Elizabeth “Betty” Crocker, in Great Falls. She attended school in Great Falls and graduated from Great Falls High School in 1963.
Shirley worked the last 20 years of her career as the office manager for McCollum Modern RVs, retiring early due to her health issues. She took up and fell in love with golf, playing it as often as she could, and making many, many great friends along the way. She also loved and cared for all the wild bunnies, squirrels, and birds that would come and eat, and hang out in her yard.
Shirley was preceded in death by the love of her life, husband of 39 years, Brent Marvosh; her parents, Art and Betty; her older sister, Judith Murphy, and her baby and little ball of fluff, Punkie.
She is survived by her brothers, Ronald (Jayne) Crocker of Great Falls and Larry (Shasta) of Omaha, AR; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
The family would like to thank the staff of Benefis Grandview Senior Care, Benefis Eastview Nursing Home, and Benefis Hospital for the compassionate care of Shirley in her final days.
Cremation has taken place, and no services are planned. Memorials in Shirley’s name may be made to the Diabetes Foundation. Condolences for the family may be shared online at www.SchniderFuneralHome.com.
“I’M FREE”
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned by back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that place at the close of day.
If my passing has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my life seemed all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Go now sis, and may you rest in peace and be again with your loving Brent!
