Hamden, Connecticut
Marsha M. Hendren, 78, of Hamden CT, passed away on April 4, 2025, at the St. Raphael Campus of Yale New Haven Hospital. She was born in Bridgeport, CT on May 5, 1946, and was the daughter of the late Mary and Alexander Megura. Marsha is survived by her daughters, Marisa Lutz and her husband Kristoffer (of Sudbury, MA), Erika Ennejjar (of Hamden, CT), and Alyssa Daeley and her husband Wes (of San Diego, CA). Marsha is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Mason Lutz, Madeline Lutz, Adam Ennejjar, and Olivia Daeley. Marsha had a long career as a schoolteacher, teaching at several elementary schools in Bridgeport. She was a member of Christ the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Hamden for many years and was strong in her faith. In her free time, she enjoyed spending time with loved ones, reading, gardening, going to museums, crossword puzzles, and traveling to new places. She loved nature and all animals. Her favorite colors were green and yellow, because “they are happy colors.” Marsha’s greatest gift was seeing the beauty in everyone and everything. As she would say to her family every night, “Happy Dreams, Sleep Tight, and God Bless You,” the family says a wholehearted “Happy Dreams, Sleep Tight, and God Bless You” to her as she enters the kingdom of God.
Services will be privately held at the convenience of her family. Donations in her honor may be made to the Garden Ministry at Christ the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 600 Shepard Avenue, Hamden, CT 06514. Arrangements in care of Beecher & Bennett Funeral Home.

I was blessed to know Marsha through our weekly Bible Study Fellowship group. Marsha was such a light and an inspiration in so many ways – especially in the depth of her faith in Jesus, and strong love of her family.
Rest in peace dearest Marsha and enjoy your new life in the presence of God

Marsha I will always remember the time I brought flowers to you in 1990 because I was scared you wouldn’t approve of me dating your daughter. And you immediately loved me. I don’t know if it was the flowers or me, but you took me in as family. I remember you grading school papers at the kitchen table while Marisa and I were hiding in her bedroom. Rest in peace and I look forward to the day we meet again.
Marsha was a tremendous woman with absolute heart of gold. She will be missed. We are all fortunate to have spent time with her over the years around the holidays, and special events… it won’t be the same without her. May she rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to the family for your beloved loss.
Sleep in Peace Among the Angels
