O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ 1 Corinthians 15: 55-57
Polly Irene Marshall, 67, of Nickelsville, Virginia passed away September 16, 2012 at Indian Path Medical Center, Kingsport, Tennessee, after a courageous battle with debilitating illness.
Born Polly Irene Grigsby November 23, 1944 in Lebanon, Virginia to Lilburn and Hazel Grigsby, she was the sixth of seven children. She attended Nickelsville High School. Polly married the love her life and entered into a lifelong commitment to Richard Marshall on June 11, 1965.
A pillar of a community for the majority of her life, Polly was a proud supporter of the Twin Springs High School Athletic Booster Club, manager of the Nickelsville Pool, volunteer with Upward Basketball of Nickelsville, and dedicated worker providing meals to the elderly and sick in the community.
