Agatha Bell Burnett Marshall, 97, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2021.

She was born November 13, 1923, a daughter of the late William H. and Lily M. Morris Burnett.  She attended Waynesboro High School and worked at Dupont after high school.  Later in life she was employed by Western State Hospital where she made many special friends.

On April 3, 1923 she married the love of her life, Wayne Frank Marshall in Elkton, Maryland where they lived for a short time before moving back to this area where Frank and Agatha raised their family and made a good life together, devoted to one another, to church and their family.

Agatha was a faithful member of Shenandoah Heights Baptist Church and was involved in directing and teaching Bible school, coordinated and taught children's Sunday school and was an active member of the Women's Missionary Union for many years.  Most of all, she will be remembered for her unwavering faith, fighting spirit and unconditional love for her family and friends.
