Mildred Joyce Marshall, hardworking woman
Mildred Joyce Marshall, 82, of Georgetown, passed away Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, at her home with her family by her side.
She was born in Northhampton County, Va., to the late Gilmore F. and Josephine Wilgus Elliott. In addition to her parents, she is preceded by her husband, William A. Marshall in 2001; as well as three siblings, Gilmore Franklin Elliott Sr., Jeannie Oakley and Katherine Costas.
Mildred was an extremely hard worker. Besides raising and caring for her husband and seven children, she also worked for Vlasic Foods as a lab tech for approximately 30 years. In addition to her own family, she would always open her home to other family members and friends who needed a place to stay, and would always want to feed her guests.

She will be remembered for her loving, kind, and giving heart, and will be dearly missed.
She is survived by seven children: Joyce M. Brewington of Georgetown, Alfred G. Marshall (Violet) of Millsboro, Patricia Baker of Georgetown, Jeffrey Marshall (Debbie) of Dagsboro, Brenda Bailey (Shawn) of Georgetown, Billie Jo Morris (Corey) of Georgetown, and Mary Marvel (Rolley) of Blades. She was blessed with 16 grandchildren: Daniel Aadlerink, Wendy White, Cindy Blair, Millie Eskridge, Joseph Marshall, Jeff Bennett, Cliff Marshall, Ashley Marshall, Isaiah Bailey, Brianna Bailey, Caleb Morris, Jessie Morris, Sonya Elliott, Rolley Marvel Jr., Shelby Marvel and Trevor Lewis-Franklin; along with 24 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. Mildred is also survived by nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
