~ ~


Marsha Goslin Brehm finished her life's journey and met her Heavenly Father on October 2, 2018 at the Hospice House in Kennewick. She was born December 15, 1946 in Ashland, WI to Bill and Vivian Goslin.

When Marsha was nine months old, the family moved to Richland where her Dad was employed at Hanford. She attended Jefferson Grade School, Chief Joseph Junior High School and graduated from Richland's Columbia High School in 1965. Go Bombers! She spent her college years at WSU and the University of Hawaii.

She married; and her daughter, Kristin, was born in Honolulu in 1970. In 1976, Marsha and Kristin returned to Richland.

She began her career at Hanford in 1976 retiring in 2008. She enjoyed her career and all the people she worked with at DOE and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. But she loved retirement best!

Marsha was so blessed to meet Gary Brehm, and they married in 1993. They were inseparable and enjoyed a life together that most people only hope for. They shared a love of their families, friends, traveling, reading, music, their cats and most of all each other! They also shared a passion for Hawaii and cruise ship travels.

She had a huge heart, was a sentimental soul and always full of optimism. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Marsha was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Vivian Goslin.

She is survived by her loving family: devoted husband, Gary Brehm; daughter, Kristin McDaniel (Mason); daughter, Marnie Farness (Larry Blonsky); son, Michael Brehm (Melissa Swodeck); and her sweet grandchildren: Matthew, Mitchell, Palmer, Emily, Garrett, Meg and Natalie. She also leaves behind her loving sister-in-law, Cyndi Strand (Geof); her Aunt Margie; numerous cousins; and her darling rescue cats, Mac and Koa Duke.

A memorial service was held at Einan's Funeral Home at 2:00 PM on Friday, October 12, 2018. In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to Tri-Cities Cancer Center, Hospice at the Chaplaincy or Benton Franklin Humane Society in Marsha's name.
