(Lifelong Resident Of Fulton County)
Marshall Lee Boyers went home to be with the Savior on September 4th, 2024 at the age of 93. He was born in Wauseon, Ohio on August 17th, 1931 to Loren and Kathryn (Rutz) Boyers.
Marshall was a lifetime Fulton County resident. He married the love of his life, Helen Pauline (Grieser) Boyers on April 17th, 1954 at Swan Creek Church of the Brethren in Delta, Ohio and they enjoyed over 65 wonderful years together.
Marshall served in the 101st Infantry Division of the United States Army. He drove for the motor pool for army intelligence and was a veteran of the Korean War. Marshall spent time working in the furnace business with his father L. Ray Boyers.
He also had a thirty-year career in construction and an even longer career as a sign painter. Marshall learned the joys of sign painting as a young man from his paternal grandfather, Loren W. Boyers.
Marshall was a vehicle enthusiast and loved working on old cars. If he wasn’t out in the garage workshop, he could be found attending the events of the Irish Hills Car Club, attending Swan Creek Church of the Brethren, or spending time with the friends and family he loved most.
Marshall was preceded in death by his loving wife Helen, his parents, Loren and Kathryn, his brother James Boyers, and half-brother Darrel Eugene “Gene” Sindel. Beloved in-laws Joan Boyers, Jennie Grieser, Hildegard Sindel, Leon (Betty) Grieser, his great nephew Zachary Olmstead, and his foster son Michael “Mike” Diaz.
His memory will live on through his son Terry (Amy) Boyers, his granddaughters Kathryn (Joseph) Heuerman, Margaret (Shane Curtis) Boyers, and great-granddaughter Sophia Heuerman. His brother-in-laws Robert J. Grieser & Ralph (Bonnie) Grieser, and many others who knew and loved him.
Services to celebrate his life will be at Short Funeral Home in Archbold, OH on Saturday, September 14th, 2024. Visitation will be from 9am-11am followed by a service at 11am. Interment will immediately follow at Wauseon Union Cemetery. Short Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.
