Columbiana, OH –Marsha A. Barnhouse- Gordon, 76, of Columbiana, OH, passed away at Parkside Health Care in Columbiana on Sunday, August 24, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born March 20, 1949, in Salem, a daughter of Robert and Betty (Gano) Segesman. Marsha married her late husband Larry Barnhouse in 1974.
Marsha was a devoted homemaker. She later worked in the office of Sheely's Furniture in North Lima and sold Avon.

She leaves stepchildren Justin (Laura) Gordon and Erica Guerrier-Gordon; six step-grandchildren; sisters, Robin Woods and Vickie (Jim) Wagner; and was a proud aunt to many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
