Marsha Ann Ratzloff

Marsha (Goins) Ratzloff, born December 8, 1939, in Vinita, Oklahoma, entered into the loving arms of Jesus on December 7, 2025, at the age of 85. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Marsha’s greatest joy in life was her family and her faith. Marsha married the love of her life, Archie Ratzloff, on March 8, 1958. Together, they built a beautiful life rooted in love, laughter, and steadfast commitment to one another. A woman of deep Christian faith, Marsha was a longtime member of Christ Methodist Church, where she formed cherished friendships and loved worshiping and serving alongside her church family. Marsha always chose positivity and looked for the good in everyone she met. She loved to cook and found great joy in preparing meals for her family, especially when everyone was gathered together around the table. She enjoyed reading, sewing, and tending to her flower beds, which brought her great joy in recent years, and could often be found solving a crossword puzzle with quiet determination. She was truly the heart of her family, and her gentle spirit, love of nature, and optimistic outlook made her a light in the lives of many. Marsha is survived by her husband, Archie; her son, Tom Ratzloff; her daughter, Keesha and husband David Cashmore; her grandchildren, Baylor Cashmore; Avery Cashmore; Eric Ratzloff; Dakota Ratzloff and his wife Chelsea; and Ashley Scott and her husband Robert; and her great-grandchildren, Sutton Ratzloff and Skylar Scott. She is also lovingly remembered by extended family and dear friends. She will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her family, her strong faith, and the kindness she shared so freely. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Christ Church on Harvard in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The family would like to thank the staff at Porta Caeli House Hospice for the exceptional compassion, comfort, and support they provided to Marsha and her loved ones. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” — John 14:1–3
