Helen A. (Jankowski) Marshall, 94, of Southington, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 4, 2021 at Autumn Lake in New Britain. She had been the loving wife of the late Robert V. Marshall for 57 years.

Born on August 28, 1926 in Plantsville to the late Anthony and Rose (Dawidzionek) Jankowski, she had been a lifelong Southington resident.

She enjoyed bowling, golfing with the Lady Falcons, traveling the United States and polka dancing with Bob. Most of all, Helen loved her family and adored her grandchildren. She was the life of the party and will be remembered for her bright smile and infectious laugh.
