Read More	Born at McKennen Hospital on June 20th 1943 to Mary and Jack Heyer, the third child, the 2nd girl. Worked 15 years at Morrells before venturing into self-employment. Marsha bought a small tavern The Dew Drop Inn and turned it into a thriving business where patrons became friends and some friends remained life long. With her mom on the books, her sister Greta behind the bar Marsha was in heaven not having to punch a clock – even at the 7 days a week. After leaving the bar, Marsha did a few other smaller jobs, working at Sweetmans Construction and eventually became part owner with sister Rose in the Desert Rose- where she once again, made lifelong friends. She retired to her little farm house and loved raising her animals – everything from tropical fish, pigeons, chickens, and the exotic EMU’s. She loved animals, Molly 1 and 2 – her black 4 legged family members helped her. She was in heaven – until her health gave out and she ultimately had to get rid of them. She spent the last couple of years in home – the home she loved painting painting painting….adorning her walls with her art. It is the place she took her last breath on February 17, 2016 at 6:30 am with Greta at her side. Marsha was about love and forgiving. That is the legacy she leaves behind. She prearranged her funeral with the thoughts that she wanted to spare us as much anxiety, grief, and expense as possible at the time of her death. She made suggestions and made selections as well as paid for everything way back in 1999 – all in the hope to relieve some pressure at this difficult time. The excerpts that follow are some of her written words from that process along with the input from her remaining family. When she was asked to identify her significant accomplishments in her life, “Having a lot of wonderful friends and always able to live around nature as much as possible”. Marsha was rich with long and meaningful friendships. She treasured each of them deeply and for what each brought to the table. Frequently she would comment on how her friends always accepted her and acceptance was important to Marsha. She was rich with friends from every walk of life and age. Some names include Chris Grillas – who never faltered in her loyalty to Marsha, Cheryl, “Toad” who supported Marsha during difficult times with her ease of laughter, Tim who she just recently started saying “ I have to quit calling him a good boy – he’s a man now.” Ode, who never missed a garage card game and kept things mellow even when outnumbered by women 5 to 1. Marlys, one of the hardest working people Marsha ever knew – and someone “who was always on some crazy diet”… Lori who “was really smart’ and always thoughtful and generous to a fault are just naming some of the few that she shared openly with her sisters. Then there was her family, Marsha worked hard to bring harmony to the strong personalities within her family and in her end of life book, she states “My fondest memories are in my younger years when the entire family would gather for the holidays.” When asked the question how she wants her family to remember her for… “I tried to be a good person.” And the message to her family “ Please find peace and laughter again.” Marsha’s legacy of love and forgiving will continue on in each of us of we so choose. Grateful for having shared her life are her siblings, Rose Dougherty, Sioux Falls, Greta (Jimmy) Carter, Seattle, WA, and Stuart Heyer, Sioux Falls; and many nieces and nephews. Her parents, brother Bucky, and sister Jeanie, and infant brother Bart, preceded her in death. Family will greet friends from 3:00-5:00 pm, on Sunday February 21, at Miller Funeral Home 507 S. Main Ave. Funeral services will be 10:30 am Monday at Miller Funeral Home with burial at St. Michael Cemetery.
