MARSHA LUCILLE JEPSEN (LEE)

October 21, 1954 – August 2, 2025

Marsha Lucille Jepsen (Lee), 70, of Richland, WA, peacefully went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on August 2, 2025, in her home. She was born on October 21, 1954, in Pasco, WA and was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Marsha lived a life full of love and servanthood. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her love of the Lord was contagious, and her selfless nature was evident in her everyday kindness and generosity towards others, always putting everyone else above herself.

Marsha was a graduate of Columbia High School (RHS) and worked primarily as a homemaker. However, throughout her life she worked some part time jobs, including working at JCPenney, Arco, the Richland Federal Building, Carry's Custom Drapes, Fabric Land, and Perk's Sewing and Yarn Center. She also worked in a greenhouse, school kitchens, and the Richland High School office as a volunteer after school. She routinely took on housecleaning and sewing jobs through private customers, and most recently, she volunteered at the Tri-City Union Gospel Mission, which brought her much joy.

She married the love of her life, Brian Lee, on January 25, 1975, and together they raised 3 beautiful daughters: Hannah Hernandez, Joy (Nicholas) Holloway, and Grace (Carlos) Cardenas. She also leaves behind 8 grandchildren: Marcos Hernandez (25), Liliana Hernandez (19), Emely Hernandez (18), Levi Martinez (7), Olivia Velasquez (20), Edwin Velazquez (18), Sofia Velazquez (15), and Lucy Silvas (10).

She was preceded in death by her mother, Verlene Tillotson, father, Robert Jepsen, and several stepsisters and brothers. Marsha is survived by her loving husband, 3 children, 8 grandchildren, 2 sisters, 1 brother, and 2 stepsisters.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 15, 2025, at 11:00 am at Mueller's Funeral Home, 1401 S. Union Street, Kennewick, WA. All are welcome to attend.
