  1. Marcia was one of the kindest, most loving humans in our circle. We cherished our times with her, and will never forget the halloweens we would bring Michael up in his costume, and he would run the candy at the front door while Marcia and we talked about literally everything. She will be missed, and will always be in our hearts. All our love to Edwin and Douglas.

    • Siento mucho esta pérdida. A pesar de la distancia y de no habernos conocido en persona, siempre le tendremos un gran aprecio. Gracias infinitas por el cariño sincero que nos tuvo y, sobre todo, por el amor que le regaló a la prqueña Mía. Los acompañamos a la distancia.

  3. I have so many fun and wonderful memories of going to school with Marcia. She was “ famous” for her thespian talents , especially the Roller Coaster” ride. We always talked about going to floral school together and wow, she not only went but became a master. She’s will be missed by the Cumberland- Massena class of 1965!!

  5. Marcia was the dearest best friend anyone could wish for. We didn’t see each other often after high school, but when we did, the conversation and laughter flowed like we had never been apart. Marcia could remember things so well from the past. She would refresh my memory often I will always remember her as a kind, caring person who loved her family and friends very much. Marcia will be missed, but we will all carry precious memories of her in our hearts ❤️ Rest in Peace my Friend!

  11. What I loved about my Godmother/Aunt Marcia the most was her love for Reese’s peanut Butter Cups, coffee and family. Especially Edwin, Douglas and her sister Peg my Mom, because without her love of those last three people there is no me. I love you Godmother/Aunt Marcia and thank you!!!
