Marsha L. Hilton
August 14, 1958 ~ September 19, 2023
Marsha L. Hilton, 65, of Mooresville, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at her home. She was born in Martinsville on August 14, 1958, to the late Billy J. Hilton and Velma L. (Henry) Alger. Marsha attended Mooresville High School and graduated in the class of 1977. She furthered her education by receiving her Certified Nursing Assistant license at Mountain Valley in Big Stone Gap, Virginia. She worked as a CNA for over 35 years and most recently she was the director of transportation for Aspen Trace.
Marsha had a heart of gold. She never hesitated rescuing animals, whether a bird, goat, or a racoon. She loved riding her horses when she was younger, and especially loved her three fur babies, Sissy, Willow, and Gabby. Marsha thoroughly enjoyed her murder documentaries, horror movies, and Shark Week. She often spent time fishing, riding her Honda Shadow, and shooting guns. She had an adventurous soul and took up skydiving on her 50th birthday. Marsha was truly one of a kind.
Marsha is survived by her partner of 27 years, Sara Watters; sisters, Sue (David) Peters, Jo Ann (Bill) Fishel; nephews, Jeremy (Ali) Copley, Josh (Jen) Blackburn; nieces, Michelle (Ryan) Lenz, Rachel Willis; as well as several great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

Gone but NEVER forgotten. Love you Marsh! Until we meet again 🩷
There will never be another person like you. You were one of a kind. I wouldn’t be the man I am without you pushing me so hard. You’ve help guide me through the good times and rough times. You have made a difference in so many lives, more than you ever thought. You will be missed. Love you, Grandma. ♥️
If the world was full of Marshas it sure would be so much kinder! An irreplaceable soul, who will be missed by so many!! Rest easy, sweet friend.
Miss Marsha! I’m going to miss you more than I can even put into words. You were the toughest woman with the kindest heart. Love you Marshy Poo ❤️❤️
Marsha,
You were truly a light to everyone around you. Rest easy, dear friend. Until we see each other again. ❤️
You were truly one of a kind! I will miss seeing you driving around the building on your scooter! Mostly I will just miss you! Rest in peace my dear friend!
Your one of a kind marsha! You was a light to everyone you came across. I’ll truly miss you. Never forgotten my friend ❤️
YOU WILL BE MISSED
Marsh was a great lady. Always worrying that I was doing to much. She would tell me that us old ladies need to look out for each other. I will truly miss you everyday. ❤️❤️
Working with you was a pleasure. You truly cared and went above and beyond daily. You will be missed ❤️
Marsha- I really can’t believe this is true. From my first day at Aspen you seemed to have found me to be the easiest person you could argue with! Our daily interactions and conversations always included a “no”, “Why Randi”, or a “what the hell”. For you only to call or text me back within 15-20 mins to tell me yes or that you’ll do it, typically taking someone somewhere for me! ❤️ I’ll miss you you little shit talker! Until we meet again! Rest Easy!
I enjoyed working with Marsha at Aspen Trace
Marsha, you were one of a kind! You loved your residents and advocated them like no other! I enjoyed working with you. Rest in Heaven

“Marsha, Marsha, Marsha” you gave me that look every time I said it & everyone on here knows that look. You took good care of all of us! Rest in peace! You will truly be missed! ❤️

Marsha was an advocate and voice to the residents she cared for. She spoke up for them when needed. Her spirit will be missed. Glad I got to meet and work with such a spunky lady. Definitely a loss on earth and gain in heaven.
Marsha. You are loved by so many. You reminded me of my mom. Loving with what appeared to be a rough exterior. But we all know you are a pushover. I am so glad I got to meet you and grow to love you. I hope you are up there dancing. With your Hawaiian shirt. Able to breathe and be at peace. Forever in my heart ❤️.
Miss Marsha, you were the first person to welcome me to Aspen Trace. You were always there to laugh with me, pat me on the back and when my Uncle passed, you gave me a hug and shared my grief. You always tried to be so tough, but we all knew better. Your love for us all knew no bounds and was plain to see. What a wonderful lady! My life has been blessed because I got to meet you, love you and call you friend. None of us will ever forget you. Fly high Miss Marsha your work here is finished. I look forward to seeing you again in God’s Great Kingdom!
From all of us at JW.ORG, we send our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your loved one.
Marsha. I will never forget the good times we had at aspen . You truly made the day brighter for everyone around you. I’ll miss seeing you flying down the hallways in your scooter.

Marsha always made me feel validated and kept my smiling. I’ll miss hearing her sassy self.
