Marsha Ellen Green

Hello my dear family and friends. As you know I had heart surgery last week. I was somewhat nervous but I knew it had to be performed, with the support of my family. It was a long week of up and down struggles. But finally, on November 15, 2025, I was just too tired and weak. Knowing that I wouldn’t get better, I decided to go home and be with our Lord.

I was born March 26, 1960 in Bloomfield, Iowa to Janice and William Stufflebeam. My career was that of a Certified Coder II with UnityPoint Hospital. My interests were wide and varied. I traveled to Ireland, the Netherlands, Mexico, the Caribbean, and many places in the U.S. I collected Longaberger baskets, and sold and gave away 31 Bags to my friends and family. I loved getting together with family, but most of all I loved being with my grandkids. I was and still will, root for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Kansas City Chiefs.

It is with sadness however, that I leave behind my loving family to carry on my memory. My husband, Steven; my son, Jayson Dean Cromer; stepson, Rich (Ali) Green; my grandchildren - the treasures of my life, Hailey Mae Cromer, Dylan James Cromer and Brecken Allen Green; my father, William Stufflebeam (Lois); sister, Martha Sinclair; Aunt Sue Zylstra; and numerous cousins and friends. I know you all love me, but I love you more.

I joined in heaven my loving mother, Janice; Uncle Marty Zylstra; and other departed family members.

Services will be held at West Des Moines United Methodist Church, 720 Grand Avenue in West Des Moines, Iowa with visitation on Friday, November 21, 2025 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and the funeral service on Saturday, November 22 at 11:00 a.m. with burial to follow at Resthaven Cemetery in West Des Moines, Iowa.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to some of my favorite passions: breast cancer research in memory of my mother, the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, or Shriners Hospitals for Children.
