In Memory of Marsha Reinbolt

Marsha C. Reinbolt, age 77, of Adrian, Michigan, passed away peacefully at home on December 23, 2025, after a courageous two-year battle with Glioblastoma.

She was born on April 29, 1948, in Akron, Ohio, the daughter of Ervin and Metta (Mignin) Matthews. Marsha graduated from Thomaston High School in Maine and the University of Toledo.

On February 10, 1977, Marsha married Jack W. Reinbolt in Toledo, Ohio. In 1987, they moved to a farm in Lenawee County, where they produced wheat, soybeans, and corn. When their children became involved in 4-H, the farm grew livelier with steers, cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, sheep, rabbits, cats, and dogs - creating years of memories filled with hard work, laughter, and love.

Marsha worked as a Medical Technologist at Flower Hospital, St. Joseph’s Health System, and ProMedica. After retiring in 2014, she enjoyed fishing trips to Canada, hiking and lobster in Maine, camping at sprint car races, and many adventures in Florida.

Marsha never met a stranger. She loved talking with people anywhere and anytime, genuinely caring about their stories and lives. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family and friends.

Marsha is survived by her husband, Jack; her three children: Melisa Schaffner of Montpelier, Ohio; Kara Reinbolt of Bentonville, Arkansas; and Benn (Marci) Reinbolt of Hoagland, Indiana; her six grandchildren: Jacob Schaffner, Blake Schaffner, Kylie (Carter) Bihn, Jori (Nick) Ritchie, Cady Reinbolt, and Jaxon Reinbolt; and her sisters, Deborah Fealy of Vonore, Tennessee, and Victoria Matthews of Northport, Maine.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ervin and Metta Matthews; her brother, Todd Matthews; and her in-laws, James and Alice Reinbolt.

A graveside service will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Lenawee or the Musella Foundation for Brain Tumor Research on this page.
