Passed away on December 16, 2023 at the age of 88, Claude L. Marsh who was born on August 27, 1935 to Ethel and Ernest Marsh of Fortune, NL. Claude married Elsie Hickman on November 20, 1959 and together they raised two girls, Marilyn and Glenda.
Claude and Elsie were always on the go! Between Sunday night Salvation Army services, the Home League and Men’s Service Club, Claude and Elsie visited friends for toast and tea every night of the week. His grandchildren all knew that if they need a ride home at night, they had to catch Pop before 8:00pm to let him know. Aside from their nightly visits around Grand Bank and Fortune, Claude and Elsie spent years pulling their trailer all over Newfoundland with Marilyn and Glenda, and later, Pam and Robin in tow. In their later years, they made yearly visits to Ontario and Nova Scotia to visit the apple of their eyes, their first great-grandchild, Owen D. They also enjoyed many weekends at their cabin in Fraggle Rock, surrounded by many good friends and often times, their grandchildren. They lived a full, busy life together for all 53 years of their marriage.
We are confident in saying that Claude, our Dad and our Poppy Marsh, was the best Dad and Poppy to ever live. His dedication to all of us never wavered, and we all knew we could count on him for anything and everything. What was his was ours, and he made sure all of us were looked after in every way. We all knew that no matter what the situation, Pop was always just a phone call away. He was the definition of unconditional love.
Claude is survived by his daughters, Marilyn and Glenda (Clarence); granddaughters, Pam (Allan), Robin (Jeff), Cindy (Nathan); grandson, Jeffrey; great-grandchildren, Owen, Delaney, Nash, Leah; siblings, Nellie Morey, Hazel Purchase (Les), Jim Marsh (Shelia), Nellie Mugford (Wayne); plus a large circle of extended family and friends.
