Marshall was born in Thames on 12 January 1927,[2] the son of Henry Horace Marshall and Constance Marshall (née Hill).[3] In 1954, he married Elizabeth Mary "Betty" Conradi at All Hallows Chapel, Southwell School, Hamilton, and the couple went on to have three children.[4]
The following year, he won the first of his two New Zealand national athletics titles, winning the 1 mile in a time of 4:17.7.[1] In 1952, he won his second 1-mile championship, in a personal best time of 4:11.8.[1][2]
A schoolteacher, Marshall joined the staff of Southwell School in Hamilton in 1953.[4] After a period of teaching in Fiji and at Ngongotahā, he returned to Southwell, and was appointed headmaster in 1972.[4] He retired in 1988, but served as caretaker headmaster for a term in 1994.[4] During his tenure as head, the school roll grew from 160 to 325.[4]
Marshall died at his home in Hamilton on 16 May 2013,[7] and his funeral was held in All Hallows Chapel at Southwell.[4] He was buried in Hamilton Park Cemetery.[8]
