We Remember
MARSHALL, Lillian
November 2, 1934 — November 16, 2025
Lillian Ilene Marshall was born on November 2, 1934, to Gertrude and Herbert Pearce in St Paul, Alberta, hospital, sister to older brothers Donald and Ken. Lillian passed away on November 16, 2025, with grace and dignity. She is survived by her brother-in-law, Rex, and Karen Marshall; children Chris Moffitt, Frank (Wendy) Marshall, and Bruce Marshall; grandchildren David (Erin), Christine, Jennifer (Richard), Andrea (Scott), Erin (Colin), Brent (Kara), and Kathryn (Alex); great-grandchildren Emma and Riley, Lily and Hanna, Illi, Eva, and BJ, Jack and Will, Kate, Zach and Lena, Ellie and Charlie. Lillian was predeceased by husband Dennis (d 2021), daughter Brenda (d 2014), and son-in-law Syd Moffit (d September 2025).
In the mid-1930s, Lillian’s family moved from Owlseye (St Paul area) to Edson, and she spoke of many fond memories and stories of growing up there. It was at Edson High School that she met her future husband, Dennis Marshall. Married in 1951, employment opportunities took them to many places while raising their family: Jasper, Edmonton, High Level, Yellowknife, Stony Plain, Slave Lake, Lethbridge, and Inuvik before finally retiring in Peachland in the mid-1980s.
In the Okanagan years, Mom and Dad found, treasured, and enjoyed the many long-lived friendships from the past Yellowknife days, and the new ones from the Peachland Anglican Church, Peachland Variety Singers, and service groups such as Eastern Star and the Masonic lodge. Mom and Dad also often reflected on how much fun they had over the years with the ‘Six-pack-group’.
Mom and Dad’s Peachland location has many great family memories for us all: holidays in summer with all the beaches, fall Okanagan fruit harvest season, fall Bazarres, and many a Christmas! Always with Mom’s love and joy of family and friends, while making the most amazing feasts for us all, she will be greatly missed!
Lillian’s children would like to acknowledge and thank all of Mom’s friends from St Margaret’s Anglican Church; Peachland Variety singers; Eastern Star; and friends in Crystal Springs, West Kelowna, for their love and support for Mom over the years, and especially the last 2 weeks here at her home. Her wish was not to have a funeral, but to be able to visit and say goodbye to her friends and family here at home prior to her passing. We are grateful that Mom was able to enjoy all her final wishes.
Special thanks to Reverend Sue Mayoss-Hurd and neighbours Jerry and Sharon Smallwood. Thank you also to the Kelowna Hospice Care staff for their compassionate care of our Mom.
Mom touched many lives with love and acceptance. She will be missed.

My sincere condolences on the passing of dear Aunt Lil. I always remember her as a kind woman who laughed often and made everyone feel special. She was very hospitable. Rob and I always enjoyed visiting Dennis and Lil. May the Lord comfort your family as you have lost your dear mom. May she rest in peace, and until you see her again may you be comforted by many wonderful memories.
Love and hugs, Cathy Marshall
Our heartfelt condolences to all of your family. I only met Lil a couple of times and she was so easy to love from the first moment. I’m sure she will be so missed by you all. I hope you find comfort in knowing her life was well lived and she’ll now be happy with your Dad.
Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to all of the Marshall family. We have such fond memories of both your parents. We met Dennis and Lil in 1992 when we joined St. Margaret’s church in Peachland. I had many great times at the sewing and craft table with Lil at the bazaar each year. We had so much fun along with Betty Sutherland too! Lil was always smiling and just the most lovely and thoughtful lady. We left Peachland a few years ago but always tried to visit either at the church or at your mother’s house when we went back. Thank you for all the wonderful memories Lil! Rest in Peace beautiful lady!
Much love to you all,
Dale and Suzanne Fish
I was absolutely devastated to hear of Lillian’s passing. Our friendship goes back many years in the Order of the Eastern Star. I am so grateful to have all the photos and memories marking our friendship over the years and our travels. She played the organ so beautifully and I am so blessed to have known both Lil and Dennis. They taught me so much and I will miss her and her wonderful smile so much. My Condolences and prayers to her family. She definitely will be missed.
