Marsha L. Bothe

Marsha L. Bothe, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home on March 7, 2026, surrounded by her family. She was born on August 25, 1952, to Leonard and Beatrice (Cook) Voss, who precede her in death. Marsha was married to her devoted husband, William Bothe, for 56 cherished years. Together, they created a warm and loving family. She is survived by her children: Kimberly (Mike) Stieve, Todd (Amy) Bothe, and Jamie Bothe. Marsha took immense joy in being a grandmother to nine grandchildren, Jessica, Zach, Brittany, Taylor, Cori, Breanne, Katherine, Emily, and Nash, as well as eight great-grandchildren, who brought her boundless happiness. Marsha is also survived by her brother, Gary (Elaine) Voss, brother-in-law, Tony Biskup, many nieces and nephews; and her dog, Kassie. In addition to her parents, Marsha is predeceased by her sister, Monty Biskup.

Marsha's warmth extended beyond her family, as she was known for her kind spirit and willingness to help anyone in need. In her leisure time, Marsha enjoyed visits to the casino, traveling to new destinations, and attending NASCAR races. However, her greatest passion was spending precious moments with her family, which provided her with joy and comfort.
