Marshall Simcoe

August 30, 1928 — July 4, 2021

POCATELLO

Marshall Lee Simcoe, 92, of Pocatello, formerly of Buhl, died Sunday, July 4, 2021 at his residence. Marshall was born August 30, 1928 in Jose, Colorado to Marshall Bryan Simcoe and Erma Russel Sheard Cook Simcoe.

A short time after graduating high school, Marshall joined the United States Navy on October 15, 1948 at the age of 20. He was part of the Air Transportation Squadron Twenty-One. During his time in the Navy he received several decorations, medals, and badges as well as a Good Conduct Medal. Shortly after leaving the Navy Marshall met and married the love of his life, Janet (Martin) Simcoe on November 30, 1952 at the First Christian Church in Buhl Idaho.

Marshall started a career first working at the Chevrolet Garage in Buhl. He then took a job in Burley, Idaho selling insurance. The final stage of his working career was truck driving. He landed a position with Reed Hurst Trucking in Pocatello, Idaho. They were an amazing family to work for and he continued with them until he retired. Truck driving was Marshall’s first love, his wife Janet came in a very close second!

He is survived by his wife, Janet Simcoe; three sons, Steve (Tamara), Mike (Jennifer), and Lonnie Simcoe; daughter, Marsha Radi; son-in-law, David Holbrook and daughter-in-law, Pam Simcoe; ten grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren.
