Marcia’s love for her family was only pale in comparison for her love for the Lord. Her strength that she drew from her faith was immeasurable and that faith gave her a heart for reaching out to so many people, she reached out to and ministered to family, friends and the complete strangers that she crossed paths with. She had a passion for gardening that turned her into a composting machine, it was extremely hard to throw anything away in the garbage that could be used as compost, it became a game. She was also known as a fitness fanatic; it wasn’t at all uncommon to hear her running on her treadmill in the basement while listening to worship music. Up until this last summer it wasn’t out of the ordinary to see her chasing her GREAT grandchildren in the back yard. Marcia had no profession of perfection but she constantly would strive to be a better person than she was the day before. It is hard to think of Marcia and not come away with a feeling of love, her smile lit up the room, she was a strong, determined and gifted woman who has passed those traits down through her children and to her grands. She is much loved and much missed.
