I am sorry for your loss. Marcia was a special lady.
I am so sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing, but so thankful she is with Jesus. I have so many memories of her teaching Sunday school, singing songs…later teaching us PIT in youth group, and baking my gorgeous wedding cake. She was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She sure will be missed. Sending hugs to the family.
Marcia was such a sweet person. Lots of memories of going to her bakery. My thoughts and prayers to the family!
Together with her Lord and Savior. A woman with a true heart for God and others. She was such an inspiration to others! Our sincere condolences to her entire family.
So sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing. She was such a great person. She helped a lot of people in times of need. I’m going to miss her. My thoughts and prayers for the family and friends.
What a sweet lady. Always ready to serve and went shopping many times at late hours for the Angel Tree names at Christmas. I will always remember her too for baking the pies for Darl and my wedding.
So glad she is at peace with her Savior. Prayers for the family.
Marcia was always so humble and full of the Spirit. I sat under her wise teaching in a women’s Bible study and spent hours in prayer with her at her house every Saturday night. I’m thankful for her closeness and devotion to the Lord.
I was fortunate enough to work with Marcia before she retired on the Christmas program at the Help Line. She was a wonderful person and had a very strong faith in the Lord. She will be missed
Joe, Ben, Amanda, and Paul,
Your mom was a wonderful lady who gave so much of herself to so many people throughout her her many years of life. I will always remember her love for the Lord as it truly shined so brightly. Prays for your comfort as you navigate this difficult situation.

Marcia and I go back as friends many years,

Sending love and hugs to all of you. Marcia certainly was my best friend. I’m so glad that she isn’t hurting anymore. Just looking at the face of Jesus.
