God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again

A good friend of mine whom I work with in Young Women's had a very sad thing happen this past weekend. Her husband passed away from a heartattack in the middle of the night. Everyone was shocked to hear the news. He was healthy & active, no sign of heart trouble. He was the kindest, nicest man. If anyone was ready to leave this earth at any time, it was Nolen. He left behind a 14 year old daughter who is devastated. It puts life in perspective a little bit, and you realize that God has a plan for each of us, even if we don't understand it. How many times do you go to bed thinking you have tomorrow to make up or tell someone you love them? I want you to hug & kiss your kids & tell everyone you love how much they mean to you! I'm so glad to be a member of the church and have a testimony in Eternal Families. It makes tragedies like this one a little more acceptable.

Nolen J. Marshall
1950-2009
Nolen J. Marshall, 59, loving husband, father, grandpa, brother, and friend passed away Saturday, May 30, 2009, at his home in Spring Creek, Nevada. Nolen was born in American Fork, Utah, on May 27, 1950, to his father Ual M. Marshall and mother Rhonda Openshaw. He was born a young, charismatic boy with a love for family and adventure. His early years were full of life and experiences that would teach him the values of a being a good father and honorable man. His values carried him through life where he met a young, beautiful woman, Shellee Turner. They married April 2, 1976, in the Salt Lake City Temple. Nolen committed himself to her and the LDS church, where he graciously served many callings later being called upon to humbly serve as bishop. His unwavering faith, love for life, family and friends was the spring in his step. He was rarely seen without a smile on his face. Nolen cherished the opportunity to help others and serve a cause greater than himself; even now he continues to serve others as an organ donor passing along a new hope of life and health. He is survived by his wife Shellee and children Jamie, Phoenix, Lyndsi (Josh) , SLC, Jett (Amber), Logan UT, Kylee and grandson Cael. Viewings will be held Tuesday, June 2, from 6-8 p.m. and preceding the funeral from 9:30- 10:30 on Wednesday June 3rd. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on June 3rd. All services will be held in the LDS Stake Center located at 1651 College Pkwy, across from Great Basin College. Nolen will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
