AILEEN MARSH, age 82, of Slidell, passed away on Sunday, June 12, 2011. 

Born on September 12th, 1928 in Buffalo New York, Aileen was an extraordinary 
woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love. 

Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so dear, we will 
always be inspired by her remarkable ability to bounce back from adversity. 

Born with spinal bifada, the doctors said she would not live, but oh! live she 
did! and it was with vim and vigor, traveling to Alaska with her mother and 
sister Marnie as a teen ager on a steam ship to Alaska, where she met the love 
of her live Mickey Marsh, while working in the co-op photography dept. He was a 
war correspondent / photographer and Aileen was also modeling for Griffens 
studio. 

When her beloved Mickey died Aileen's instructions to the military "Taps" being 
played at the end of the ceremony to be immediately followed by "Revelry" Aileen 
had an extraordinary depth of joy in life one would find nearly impossible to 
emulate, her standard answer after any adversity was "I am great" and indeed, 
she always was. An amazingly good bridge player and teacher, she never missed a 
chance to make it to the club.. and if she couldn't make it to the club to play, 
the club came to Aileen in the hospital. Aileen's persona was that of style and 
grace one in this life seldom, gets to see but will always be remembered, 
especially by her best friend of so many years Bill Treadaway Aileen, was always 
ready to hop on and go along for the ride, but now we have to stand apart waving 
our goodbye to you Aileen, on this last trip home. Our amazing grace has left 
this shore. Proceeded in death by her husband of 51 years, M.W. (Mickey) Marsh 
Aileen is survived by her special companion, Bill Treadaway
