The wife of Alvin Marsh, and Beverly Marsh’s mother. She works as a waitress and has the 3:00 PM-11:00 PM shift at Green’s Farm, Derry’s best restaurant. She is “a small woman with graying hair and a grim look.” She has a lined face that shows the distress from her life. She knows about Al’s physical abuse of Beverly but is tolerant of it. She worries, however, about Beverly’s burgeoning womanhood and asks if Al has ever touched her inappropriately.
