Remembering Marshall England
With sadness, I write to share news of Dr. Marshall England’s passing last month. A true friend and member of the VCU School of Dentistry’s Class of ’58, Marshall was a gentleman in every sense. His students throughout the years fondly knew him as a great educator, friend, and mentor. He had a wonderful tenure here at the VCU School of Dentistry, as a student, faculty member, chair and alumnus.
Below is his obituary. Please join me in remembering Marshall and keeping his loved ones and many friends in your hearts.
“Dr. Marshall C. England passed away on Sept. 21, 2021. He was preceded in death by his wife, Diana, who was his college sweetheart and best friend for 54 years; his infant son, “Tiger”; his brother, Bill England; and his parents, Marshall Sr. and Lura. Marshall graduated from Maryville College in 1954, the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in 1958 and the Medical College of Virginia Graduate Studies in 1967. He was certified by The American Board of Endodontics in 1981. Marshall was Program Director at Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry. He was an avid fly fisherman and he loved his trips to Canada. He also had a love for antique cars, of which he had several over the years. Upon retirement, Marshall returned to his hometown of Maryville, Tennessee. Marshall was uncle, cousin and friend to many wonderful people who will miss him dearly. Marshall will be memorialized at Primitive Baptist Church in Cades Cove Tennessee at a later date.”
