Wanda Marshall

Wanda Lynn Marshall, 86, of Tangier Island, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 2, 2020 from Peninsula Regional Medical Center.

Born on Tangier on December 27, 1933, she was a daughter of the late Charles Melvin and Virginia Brimer Wheatley. Her husband, Teddy R. Marshall, preceded her in death on February 12, 1968.

She was the owner and operator of Wanda’s Gift Shop on Tangier which she started on her front porch in the early 1980’s. It flourished into a labor of love that she poured her heart into for over 30 years.

She was a member of the New Testament Church on Tangier where she faithfully played the piano for many years and supported many Pro-Life Missions. She was very creative and enjoyed crocheting and crafting during the winter months. She also enjoyed traveling with her children to the Holy Land and Japan to name a few. Most of all, she cherished time spent with her family and friends.
