My deepest condolences to Rianna, the Birkett family and extended family members. I first met Marsha during our Pathfinder years at TWest and Scarborough respectively. I am happy we were able to reconnected at Camp Frenda's Adventurer family camp a few years ago. As a fellow educator, l always admired , her professionalism, dedication and love for her job and the students. She was a kind, caring and compassionate. God blessed her with many gifts and she tiredlessly used them all in the service of the Lord.
Rest in Peace my dear friend!

Dear Gregg, Colleen and the entire Birkett family, please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your beautiful, beloved Marsha. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Marsha and I skipped church once to just fellowship together in the choir room at Toronto West Church, and whenever we met, we laughed and embraced each other warmly. Her beaming smile always lit up my day. We laughed and thanked God as we remembered how, during a school trip, she found my daughter Tessa's glasses in the forest after a prayer for help.
Marsha will always be in our hearts.
With love, from Sis Ross & family.

Marsha was a special angel sent by God. She made everyone she befriended feel special. She was kind, thoughtful and compassionate. I moved away over 20 years ago but we kept in touch and she helped me and counseled me through one of the toughest times of my life. She literally carried me through. I will miss Marsha but I know her light shines on in Rianna.

At a critical juncture of my development she encouraged and nurtured-- this is who she was intrinsically. My heart is heavy as our world is made darker by her absence. May all the beautiful memories of her bring you strength. My family's thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

Outside of school I would always see you while walking through the church parking lot to get home. You were always smiling no matter what; it as always a hug and what’s going on?

To the Birkett's, the extended family and the Harvie and TWest crew.
We grew up at a special time at Harvie from the late 70's to the end of the 90's. All of us children, teens and young adults at that time period shared a unique bond. We had our separate group of friends for sure, we also had our disagreements, but there was/is a collective bond. Marsha was a constant part of that bond; from playing in the band, to teaching SS class, to singing in the NLS, to resurrecting Pathfinders, to laughing uncontrollably, her absence will be noticed.
My condolences in a special way to Ron, Karen, Coleen, Greg, Xavier, Richard, Nalia, Isaiah and of course, Rianna. A mother's love never dies. May God's peace bring you comfort as you make it through this trying time.
Blessings,
Abi and Ksana Marshall

To the most wonderful woman in the world Marsha Birkett. Death cannot touch the fond memories I have of your warm loving caring friendship. I loved you Marsha as a daughter and a sister in Christ. There’s no one in this world like you. You are a gem and will be greatly missed. I will never forget the great times we had together. I had the pleasure of working with you in Children’s ministry and Vacation Bible School. Everything became easier when you were
Present. Your smile and laughter was contagious. Death leaves a heartache, no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Marsha you will be in our hearts and memories forever. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:11

My utmost respects to all of the Birkett Family, immediate and distant. I had the absolute honour and pleasure of getting to know Marsha as both a coworker and most importantly, a person. I found her to be very inspirational both on a professional and personal level, and a beacon of light from whom I learned a lot as both a teacher and a person. I can only imagine others would rightfully attest to her truly "one-in-a-million" unique infectious personality, heart and influence. May Marsha's light live on forever.

It’s not very often you meet someone who is so genuine, warm, affectionate, who has a Christlike aura and the most incredible smile and laughter. Marsha was an angel. I use to look forward to seeing her at church just to see her smile which was always present. Talking to her was easy. She always greeted me with a hug, kind words and of course her radiant smile.
Marsha knew how to make someone feel seen, heard, understood, loved and valued. She’s one of the most authentic person I’ve ever come across; once in her presence you could feel it, the love of God was in and around her. It is with this hope that I take comfort in knowing that she is just sleeping, waiting for her Lord to call her home. Toronto West will not be the same without her.
My sincere condolences to the Birkett Family. May God’s presence continue to give comfort, peace, strength, healing and hope as you go through this difficult time. May the memories of Marsha, her warmth, infectious smile, laughter, grace and Christlike aura live on in our hearts and our lives. May her soul rest in peace until that Great Day. Gone but, never forgotten.
Love & Blessings!

Please accept our deepest condolences with regards to Marsha's passing. We were her colleagues for many years at West Humber Collegiate. She made an immediate and positive impact upon the school when she first started working there. A true professional, she definitely raised the bar and maintained high standards for us all to aspire to. Her contributions to our learning of black history were unparalleled, and she worked hard. As I write this, we are still in disbelief that she is gone; never again to see her wonderful smile or hear that distinctive laugh that would always put a smile on your face. Rest in peace, Marsha. Your legacy will live on.
With deepest condolences,

While I had long admired Marsha from afar, our paths would intersect over several summers at Camp Frenda with our young daughters. We talked and laughed so easily and freely, like we had known each other for years. We shared our dreams for our children, our hopes for our ministries, our careers as Educators and much more. I will cherish those memories of a loving and dedicated mother, whose strength, humility, kindness and resilience were an inspiration to me and many others.
My deepest condolences to her family, and especially to her beautiful daughter Rianna. We continue to pray for God's strength and comfort for you all!

My deepest condolences to Marsha's family. Marsha was so soft spoken, humble and sweet. I will forever remember her beautiful smile and laughter. Everytime we sat and chat, Marsha would be dying with laughter and up to this moment I wonder if it was what I said , or it's the fact I chipped in and out of English to Jamaican lingo that made me that hilarious. Marsha's smile and laughter was truly a breath of fresh air, she was always pleasant to be around. Pappy (Anthony) and I will miss her. Sleep on Angel Marsha, sleep on until we meet again.

Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not to your own understanding, in ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He WLL direct your path.

I am forever grateful to have grown up in church around Marsha. Marsha was one of those people who made church worth attending. Marsha would ALWAYS greet me by name and interacting with her would make my Sabbath better. Her energy and joy made a difference in my life. Marsha had an inner light that she definitely let shine. As such, her absence is deeply felt.
I appreciate how Marsha made a safe space for the topic of divorce to be acceptable and necessary for Adventists to discuss.
To the Birkett family, I grieve with you and reminisce with you as well.

We often talk about our “HEroes” Marsha was my “SHEro”. She was the one who would always give an encouraging word. A woman who knew who she was, who she was not, and who she belonged to. Marsha was that person who truly CARED. She was IT( with capitals please The I and the T) She had the Holy Spirit oozing from her pores. I knew this because every time I was in her presence I felt safe, laughed, felt loved, warm, joy and smiled with all teeth showing!
Marsha got me, listened to me, and SAW me EVERY TIME. Virtually I still felt that love while I was recovering from a major surgery she was one of the first that reached out consistently. We held each other up and pointed each other back to Christ. We had to be on the same online bench watching church together on row J (for Jesus) seat 1 & 2 lol!
Yes the sting of death hurts cause God only makes one of a kind. I am hurting. I cannot imagine how it feels for the Birketts. BUT what I know for sure Hallelujah…Jesus yanked and still has the keys to Death, Hell and the Grave. I will see my big sister Marsha again. Jesus paid it all and Victory grants us the last laugh. Get to know Jesus if you don’t know Him already so that you can have that last laugh too.
Rihanna you had the coolest Mom ever. Her greatest legacy is you. Shine your light the World will benefit from it.
Praying for the Birketts. Goodnight Marsha rest well I will look for you in the morning. Our memories will NEVER be forgotten. Thank you Jesus for this vessel Marsha Birkett.

She was patient and influential in a quiet way and had a smile that drew you to her. I know Marsha will be greatly missed but we continue to live with the hope of being reunited one day soon.

And, well… honestly, I was not exactly one of her easiest student to adapt to and teach.. but boyyy I can tell you— Ms. Birkett was ever so kind and patient with me. Now, she most definitely held me accountable but she always gave me a chance! I can most confidently say that I speak for dozens of her former students in this memory that I share on here.

Marsha was a beautiful spirit and her smile and laughter was infectious. I've worked with her in the Pathfinder ministry, AY and other ministries. She had a passion for young people. The last memory of her passion for youth is before the lockdown, when I use to bring an 8yr old boy(community child) to church with me. She would ask about him and tell me I was was doing a great thing, even when faced with challenges. She told me I was planting good seeds in his life and that God will reward me. I was encouraged and really appreciated her for that. My sincere condolences to the Birkette family, church family, Educators, students and friends during this time of great loss. May God comfort you all during this difficult time and keep you in the Hallow of His Hands. Sleep in peace Marsha, until that great getting up morning.

"The Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory." Revelation 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Matthew 25:31. Thus will be fulfilled the Lord's own promise to His disciples: "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:3. DA 832.2
Let us rejoice in the hope of our Lord's soon return.

Marsha always had a smile on her face whenever I saw her. So friendly and kind-hearted. She always made me feel welcomed whenever I would visit Toronto West.

Marsha was willing to give of herself to those who needed her she was my son first aunt in Canada she did not hesitate to help him to explore his new home taking him to parks and other entertainment while I went to work that first summer he came to Canada. She was a true friend she once told me "Karen I am not an high maintainace friend but I am a friend that is there when you need me. " and indeed she was.
