Ivan S. Marshall, 86, of Everett, PA, passed away on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

He was born in Everett, Pennsylvania, on April 30, 1939, a son of the late William D. Marshall and Elsie M. Burke-Wiley.

Ivan is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; five children, Ivan M. Crockett and fiancé Dainna, Matthew I. Marshall, Michelle C. Marshall and fiancé Devon Lew, Morgan E.

After high school, Ivan worked with his dad collecting garbage. In 1969, he started Ivan Marshall’s Sanitation Service, where he started with just a dump truck and worked his way up to owning a garbage truck. He served his community for over 60 years.

Ivan was an avid bowler. He made many friends and participated in several tournaments and leagues over the years. In his spare time, he enjoyed watching westerns especially with Clint Eastwood, listening to Prince’s Purple Rain, and spending time with his family.

The family would like to send a special “thank you” to the nursing home, hospice, Leesa Keys-Waite, and Delores Myers for taking care of Ivan and helping out the past year.
