Marcia and Doris bowled on our bowling league. They were a fun team to bowl. I will never forget teasing her saying “Marcia Marcia Marcia” like the Brady Bunch. She was such a nice person. She will truely be missed. Thoughts and prayers to her family. ❤

I knew Marcia as the always friendly, kind, and helpful voice at the other end of the phone when purchasing safety supplies from Vallen. She was just that type of person that made me smile every time I spoke with her.
Thoughts and prayers for you, her family and loved ones. May God grant you comfort in your sorrow –

Marcia was the kind of friend that was always there to talk to. ❤ She knew how to lift people up when they were feeling down. We had some things in common, but one that sticks out is we both had daughters that we loved so much and would do anything for! Haley of course is older then my daughter, but I loved watching Marcia raise her into the beautiful young lady she’s become!❤ I was always envious of Marcia and her singing! She had a beautiful voice and was never scared to go up in front of others and sing. She always had a welcoming smile on her face and a personality to match! ❤ My heart is breaking trying to accept this!
R.I.P Rah-Rah!! You will always have a place in my heart! ❤ Love, fruit loop❤
