Marshall, born in Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 4, 1929, to Anna and Leo Moskowitz, grew up surrounded by close cousins who were like siblings to him. He was a first-generation American, with parents who were immigrants from Russia and Ukraine.

Marshall met and married Jayn Saltzman in 1953. They moved to

Las Vegas in 1955 to be with Jayn’s parents, Abe and Sara Saltzman, and sister and brother-in-law, Malvene and Herb Rowe.

Working with Abe Saltzman, he opened a small dress shop, Sara’s of Las Vegas, building the business to three stores on the Strip. In 1962, he opened his first shop at a resort, at the Sahara. It was the first shop to soon become Marshall-rousso, which continue to operate in Las Vegas and in airports nationwide.

Marshall had a passion for cars and became Southern Nevada’s first Rolls Royce dealer in 1975, selling it to close friend Jerry Cutter in 1979.

His career in banking began in the mid-1980s while first serving on the board of directors of Nevada State Bank, then in 1997 as chairman of Bankwest of Nevada, now Bank of Nevada. He remained chairman emeritus until 2018.

Marshall served on several committees and boards for various charitable causes, including the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas and the Anti-defamation League. In 1980, he was appointed to the Public Employees Retirement System board by former Gov. Robert List.

He was appointed to the Nevada Gaming Commission in 1997, serving three consecutiv­e four-year terms during some of the Southern Nevada gaming industry’s largest periods of growth.

Marshall was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Jayn and a grandaught­er, Dana.

He is survived by his wife Bonnie; daughter Cari Marshall; son Todd Marshall; granddaugh­ters Jessica Marshall and Alexis Marshall Abelson; great-granddaugh­ter, Celine Marshall Abelson; great-grandson, Leo Marshall Abelson; and Bonnie’s family, Justin Saunders, Courtney Saunders, Corbin Saunders and Michelle Saunders.

Services for Marshall are scheduled for Thursday at 9:30 a.m., at Congregati­on Ner Tamid in Henderson. King David Memorial Chapel handled the arrangemen­ts.
