Obituary: Phyllis L. Marshall

Phyllis L. Marshall

Phyllis L. (Pascarelli) Marshall of Hull, died February 28, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Family was the focal point of Mrs. Marshall’s entire life. Being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother gave her the ultimate satisfaction. She never missed a sports game, event, or activity that involved any of her children and grandchildren. Sunday dinners were a must, and the menu was announced days in advance. She also was known to sneak her grand-pups forbidden treats. This closeness also connected them on an annual vacation to Papoose Pond in Waterford, Maine, that was attended by the entire family, a tradition that will carry on in her name. She was especially proud of her Dorchester (“OFD”) roots, and her patriotism knew no bounds. 

Mrs. Marshall worked in the snack bar at Cohasset Winter Gardens and Pilgrim Arena in Hingham, where she made so many friends and connections in the hockey world, as well as at the South Shore VNA and Hospice for 30 years. She will be remembered for her kindness, loyalty, tough love, and pride in the family she and her husband, Don, created. 

Born 1935 to Dominic and Edna (Clays) Pascarelli, she was the beloved wife of the late Donald W. Marshall. Loving mother of Joyce Cox and her late husband, Joseph, of Hull, Don Marshall and his wife, Kathy, of Hingham, Chuck Marshall and his wife, Susan, of Braintree, and Tim Marshall and his wife, Denise, of Hull. Sister of the late Victor Pascarelli. Cherished Nana to her grandchildren Kerri (John) Dalrymple, Kelly (Greg) Webber, Tim (Christina) Marshall, Paige (Bianca) Muscato, Kyle Marshall, Madi Shaw, and Haley (Lonnie) Taylor. Beloved great-grandmother to Cameron Dalrymple, and Christopher and Emma Webber. She also is survived by many nieces and nephews. 

Visiting hours were held on Monday, March 4, and the funeral Mass was in St. Paul’s Church, Hingham, on March 5. Burial was in Hull Village Cemetery.
