Minnie Etta Marshall, 67, of Centralia was welcomed home by her Lord and Savior Thursday, November 18, 2021. Minnie was a great provider for her family and worked as a loyal employee of Hollywood Brands Candy Factory, which was later Leaf, in Centralia for 30 years. She gave her time and talents to Magnet factory, working there for 10 years. Minnie was later an important part of the North American Lighting team in Salem until her retirement. She appreciated the friendships she made at each of the places where she was employed. She was an enthusiastic sports fan who had a huge smile on her face whenever her favorite player, Tom Brady would take the field. Minnie loved to watch him play and knew Tom would pull out a win for her. She was grateful for her computer and appreciated all the things she could do on it. Minnie’s heart would overflow with joy and love when she could spend time laughing with and enjoying her time with her children and grandchildren. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
