She was born March 28, 1941, in Columbus, the daughter of Emerson and Emma Lee (Freeman) Watson, who both preceded her in death. Marsha was a 1959 graduate of Columbus High School.
A devoted member of Lakeview Church of Christ, Marsha’s faith was an important part of her life. She loved cheering for IU Basketball and treasured time spent with her family—especially her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her many nieces and nephews who brought her great joy through the years.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved son, Jay Pedigo; sister, Vicki Watson; and brother, Brent Watson.
Survivors include her loving sons, Stacee (Peggy) Pedigo and Ryan Pedigo, both of Columbus; brothers, Steve (Betsy) Watson of Louisville and Rick (Betty) Watson of Bloomington; grandchildren, Emily, Cailyn, Kasadee, and Ethan; great-grandchildren, Shayla and Ava; and several cherished nieces and nephews.
