Marina V. Armstrong, age 62, of Chester Springs, PA, passed away on Saturday, May 11, 2019.

Born in Frankfurt, Germany to Peter and Helga (Kemp) Evans, she came to the United States in 1957 and grew up in Falls Church, Virginia.

She will remembered for her smile, kind heart, and love for life. She was dedicated to her children and spent decades traveling with them all over the world for gymnastics meets and ice hockey games. She enjoyed visiting new places and never met a Celine Dion song she didn't love.

Evans (Terri); Thomas V. Evans (Jodi); Ursula R. Evans; and Chrissy K. Middleton (Michael); and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband, Donald J. Armstrong, MD.
