June 9th, 1930 must have been a beautiful day. That was the day Sue Ellen Giles was born to Ralph and June Giles in Watseka, IL. Sue was a lovely child and thanks to her loving parents, she has been a beautiful person and my wife of 62 years.

Sue Graduated as Salutatorian from Watseka High School in 1948, attended Ward Belmont College in Nashville, TN for two years and then graduated with a major in Radio and Television from Michigan State College in 1952. Married Kenneth Marshall after college, and became a Navy wife with Ken until 1955. Raised three children and gained a Masters degree from Bowling Green State University in the early 1970's.

Sue practiced Speech Pathology with children and in hospitals in Toledo, Ohio, then In Durango, Colorado where she worked with Head Start children, then with stroke patients and closed head injured patients in both hospitals there.

Sue was active with AAUW, the Reading Club of Durango, PEO chapter FX, sang in the choir with the Durango Choral Society and the First United Methodist Church choir.

The Marshall's were early residents of Falls Creek Ranch in Durango since 1979 and Sue was active in tennis circles and an avid hiker and camper. Sue and Ken became "snowbirds" and spent winters in Ponce Inlet, Florida starting in 2003.
