LEWISTON – Mona Knowlton Marsh, 72, died Sunday, Sept. 26, at Central Maine Medical Center.

She was born Nov. 22, 1931 in Chesterville, a daughter to Charles and Elizabeth Knowlton.

She attended Auburn schools and graduated from Edward Little High School in 1951. She became an RN after graduating from the Central Maine General Hospital School of Nursing in 1954.

On Dec. 27, 1957, she married David D. Marsh of Auburn. For many years was active in the United Methodist Church of Auburn and the Nurses Alumni Association at CMMC.

Mona’s adult years centered on home and family. Her life was small by many standards but rich with the things that brought her joy, like children, church, baking, knitting, friendships and long walks. She was a ready-listener, a gentle spirit who did her best work quietly and without any expectation of recognition or reward.

Mona is survived by her husband, Michael Daley, of Portland; daughter, Patricia Groves, of Auburn; son, David Marsh, Jr., and wife, Linda, of Sabattus; son, Steven Marsh, of Auburn; nine grandchildren, Emily Albert, Lauren and Ben LaRoche, Joel and Milley Daley, Jacob Groves, and David, Brian, and Sarah Marsh; sister, Mary Clukey, of Lisbon Falls, and a brother, William Rice, of Dennis, Mass.

She was predeceased by her parents; brother, Charles Rice, and granddaughter, Beth Marsh LaRoche.
