Ronnilla Parsons Marshall

Copake, Falls, NY - Ronnilla Parsons Marshall, 27 passed away suddenly August 19th, 2017. Often quiet or shy, Ronnilla could light up any room with her beautiful smile and hilarious expressions. She told stories with such enthusiasm  and emphasized them with her deep, sincere laugh that always entertained us. She was a loving, compassionate daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin, aunt, and friend who will be missed dearly by all that her knew her.
