In mid-1989, Marsha Delamar moved from Benton, Illinois to Henderson, KY to be closer to family. Marsha was a woman of great faith and compassion. She had started a Right to Life chapter in Benton after meeting several women who were suffering from the pain of abortions even years after their decision. Their pain lit a fire in her to do something to prevent the pain of abortion and save the lives of pre-born children.
Marsha’s passion was not stifled when she moved, nor was she dissuaded from her calling when she was diagnosed with breast cancer little more than a year later. Marsha struck up a friendship with a local OB nurse at Methodist Hospital, Jeanmarie Parrott. Marsha and Jeanmarie worked together to assemble a group of folks under the canopy of Christian Action Coalition. This coalition would be the spawning grounds for the 501C3 application for the Crisis Pregnancy Center of Henderson, KY.
Rallies and demonstrations were held during this very political time of the pro-life movement. Marsha, Jeanmarie and others travelled to Wichita, Kansas in 1991 during the “Summer of Mercy” sit-ins at the abortion clinic staffed by the now infamous Dr. George Tiller. Marsha made the front page of USA Today at this event.
In April, 1992, Marsha Delamar succumbed to the breast cancer and received her eternal reward. Her passionate service brought many memorial contributions to the Crisis Pregnancy Center of Henderson, KY. The board of directors decided that instead of running this ministry out of homes, they would use the funds to establish a physical location. The second floor of the historic Soaper Hotel was donated in downtown Henderson. This asbestos and pigeon p**p laden gift was cleaned out, painted, decorated with the funds received and Mr. Herman Alles donated furniture for the space. The significance of the memorial gifts in honor of Marsha Delamar brought a name change. We would now be known as Marsha’s Place Pregnancy Resource Center. Jeanmarie Parrott was named the director and she would serve for the next 21 years carrying out the vision of her dear friend.
