Obituary of William Marmalich

William "Bill" Marmalich, age 91, of South Beaver Township, passed away on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at Paramount Senior Living at Cranberry.

 

Born November 24, 1927 in Huntingdon, PA, he was the son of the late Anthony L. and Anna C. (Capets) Marmalich and husband of the late, Lora (Mountain) Marmalich, to whom he was married for 65 years.

 

He was a farmer and had worked for Rheem, Armstrong, and Johns Manville of Zelienople. Bill loved learning and was an avid reader. He attended Geneva College and studied history but he was very knowledgeable of nutrition and naturopathic healing. His great love of God's creation and the land was reflected in making the farm a refuge to many dogs and cats...birds and deer.
