In the early 1960s, she completed a 12-week course in typewriting and bookkeeping. Even later in life, in the mid-2000s, she enjoyed enhancing her skills by completing a computer training course through Citizens For Citizens.

She is survived by: a son, William Marshall Jr (wife Karen) of Homer, Alaska; a granddaughter, Elise Christian of Austin, Texas; her niece (& caregiver), Pauline Garnett (husband Neil) of Westport; 2 nephews, Paul Ferreira of Fall River, Thomas Ferreira of Attleboro; several grandnieces / nephews & a great grandniece.
