Autumn was born on October 31, 1978 to John Albert Marshall and Gloria Rose Marshall in Wichita, KS. Autumn was born with a heart of gold. Her care for people in her life sometimes came at a disservice to herself, but it was that concern for others that brought her joy. Regardless of Autumn’s own state in life, she often reached out to her beloved family to see how they were and to keep in touch. Autumn always had the radio on; listening to whatever was playing and singing her heart out along with the song. With an uncanny ability to remember lyrics, Autumn could sing the songs word for word. Word puzzles also kept Autumn busy as she expanded her vocabulary and kept her wit sharp.

Survivors include her cherished sons: Timothy Willeman of Houston, TX, John Willeman of Newkirk, OK, adored parents, Gloria Emerson and husband Tom of Kaw City, OK, and John A. Marshall, Jr. of Wichita, KS, siblings: John Marshall, III, Jason Marshall, Jesse Marshall, Jody Marshall, Deborah Marshall, Nancy Garcia, Vanessa Trumpower, Kyle Marshall, Shawn Sherman, and Chelsea Wiggins, paternal grandfather John A. Marshall, Sr., as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.

Autumn was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Betty Fuller and paternal grandmother, Mary Marshall.
