Jennifer Joan Marshall's Obituary
Jennifer Joan Marshall, 53, of Tucson, Arizona passed away on June 11, 2025 after a battle with cancer. A funeral service will take place at Evergreen Mortuary on June 20, 2025 at 10 a.m.
Born in Twin Falls, Idaho on April 17, 1972, Jennifer worked on the family farm during her high school years. After graduating from Jerome High School, she earned a bachelor's degree in zoology at Idaho State University. From there she attended the University of Washington, earning a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and completing a specialty in pediatric dentistry in 2004.
It was during her dental studies that Jennifer met her future husband Norman Bunch. The two of them opened a pediatric dental practice in Lynnwood, Washington. They had their first child William before moving to Tucson, Arizona to open a second dental practice and have two more children: Noah and Evan. Being a mother to her sons was the most important thing in Jennifer’s life.
Outside of work and family, Jennifer loved volunteering and helping others. She was a den leader in Cub Scouts and a room mom for her sons’ schools. She loved helping and teaching people. Most of all, she lived life to the fullest, always on the go and trying to make the world a better place. She would never sit back and observe life, but would jump in and do the right thing.
Jennifer is survived by her husband Norman Bunch, her sons William Bunch, Noah Bunch, and Evan Bunch, her parents Byron and Ruby Marshall, her parents-in-laws William and Mary Bunch, her siblings and their spouses Samantha Marshall, John and Jeny Marshall, Deborah and Jacob Fike, Laura Marshall, and Karen Marshall, her siblings-in-law Raymond Bunch and Natalie Lassen, her nieces and nephews Clark Marshall, Amaya Marshall, Douglas Marshall, Charles Marshall, Eleanor Fike, Juliet Fike, Helena Bunch, and Liam Bunch. She is preceded in death by her grandparents—John Mitani, Sue Mitani, Charles Marshall, and Marjorie Marshall—and her dogs Starbuck and Tully.
