Catherine Lou Marsh

January 13, 1956 ~ October 11, 2026

Born in: Sutton, West Virginia
Resided in: Fairmont, West Virginia

 

Catherine Lou Davis Duckworth Marsh, age 70, of Fairmont, WV was called home to be with Jesus on October 11, 2026.

Catherine was born in Sutton, WV on January 13, 1956, to Clyde and Estel Davis.  She married the first love of her life, Karl Duckworth, in 1974 who preceded her in death.  Catherine was blessed to marry the second love of her life, Ethan Allen Marsh, in 1993.

Catherine is survived by her loving husband as well as two daughters and five grandchildren: Laura Lea (Duckworth) Nulph, husband Daniel, children Titus, Cain and Evie, and Andrea Dawn (Duckworth) Burnside, husband Scott, children Noah (wife Ava) and Faith.   Her grandchildren were her pride and joy and what she considered her greatest accomplishment.

Catherine is also survived by her siblings Jeannie Freeman, Wanda Freeman (Gary) and Brenda Sammons (Junior) and very special in laws Greg Nestor and Carol Davis.

Catherine was preceded in death by her infant son, her parents, brothers Herbert, Donald and Leroy Davis, and her sisters Lorena Teter, Karen Freeman and Carolyn Nestor.

Catherine spent the early years of her marriage as a devoted mother and wife.  She later worked for over 25 years as a server, making lifelong friendships with coworkers and customers alike.  Her family and friends were kept in her constant thoughts and daily prayers, and she offered her love and support wherever it was needed.  Catherine had an unshakeable love, faith and trust in Jesus Christ. She was happiest when surrounded by her family, especially her grandchildren.

In Catherine’s memory, memorial contributions may be made to the FMC Cancer Center Comfort Fund at give.wvu.edu code 2W2049.

Services for Catherine will be held privately at the convenience of her family.
