Marsha Ann Mallinger was born August 3, 1962 and was raised in Fort Dodge. She was the daughter of Leo and Joan (Adent) Mallinger. Marsha attended and graduated from Saint Edmond Catholic High School in 1980. She went on to receive her degree in education from University of Northern Iowa. She pursued her passion for teaching at St. Matthew's Catholic School in Clare, then on to Northwest Webster and later was a preschool teacher at Saint Edmond Catholic School for many years. Marsha then went on to start a career at Fort Dodge Animal Health, now known as Elanco Animal Health where she has worked for the last 21 years.

On August 24, 1984, Marsha married Mark Condon at St. Matthew's Catholic Church and the couple made their home northwest of Clare. They were blessed with three daughters Danielle, Heather and Samantha. Watching her girls grow up together filled her heart with immense joy. Marsha was the biggest supporter of anything the girls were involved in. From sports, 4-H/FFA, and showing horses, she never missed out on an activity. She enjoyed watching her girls grow to be successful and was proud of everything they achieved. Marsha enjoyed gardening and canning, cooking for her family, and making her famous "Lime Punch" for any gathering. She treasured her Sunday night family dinners and picnics. Marsha was known for being quite the bargain shopper. She brought humor and light to any occasion. Marsha never beat around the bush, she would tromp right through it!

Marsha was a mother to all. She was affectionately known to many as, "Mama Marsha". If your hair was falling out at a horse show, she helped tuck it back in your hat, if you needed a cheerleader at a game, she yelled for you too. If you were out of line, she had no problem treating you as her own. She treated everyone like family and Marsha loved her family immensely. Her girls were her entire world, and her grandkids made her world that much better. Marsha loved spending time with Vada and Mila and was always shopping for them, adding to their toy and clothing selection. She will be dearly missed.

Marsha is survived by her husband Mark of 41 years, daughter Danielle Condon of Palmer, Heather (Dusty) Redinbaugh of Humboldt, Samantha (Mike) Ries of Manson, granddaughters Vada and Mila Redinbaugh, mother Joan Mallinger of Pocahontas, siblings Mary (Bob) Romoser of Keota, Dan (Andi) Mallinger of Norwalk, Dave Mallinger of Rushmore, MN, Michelle (Brian) Miller of Coppell, TX, Maree (Andy) Schroder of Omaha, NE, Megan (Jeff) Scott of Indianapolis, IN, Doug (Autumn) Mallinger of Independence, KY, many nieces and nephews, and friends. Marsha was known as "Favorite Aunt Marsha!"

She was preceded in death by her father, Leo Mallinger and father-in-law Thomas Condon.
