We so enjoyed working with Marcia on genealogy. She was very helpful when we ran into a ‘brick wall.’ She always had a smile and kind word. We extent our prayers and sympathy to her family.

Dear Marcia’s family,
My heart goes out to all of you for your suffering through the loss of Marcia. I am her first cousin who grew up with her through school. She had so many gifts and enjoyed sharing them with her friends and family. My husband Darrel and I loved poking through old cemeteries with her and visiting her and Frans in FL.
She will be sorely missed by all of us.
In sympathy,
Sharon Haley & family

Frans and family, our sincerest condolences for your loss. some people come into our lives and quickly go away. some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our soul and we are never the same again. Marcia was one of those people. people never die as long as their memory is still alive in our hearts.

I got to know Marcia at the library and was always happy to see her there. She was smart and funny and very dedicated to helping people learn how to use the available tools to trace genealogies. I am grateful to have known her and will miss her.

Marcia is a joy. Her true love of life was always apparent. We shared a passion for family, history, Vero and much more. She is an incredible lady. Our town and community benefited tremendously by her tireless labor. Her passion exemplifies the trait we respect. It offered so much without regard for herself. Marcia is what makes life fun. Her spirit lives on in the light that can not be dimmed. It brings energy, laughter and gracious service to the world. I am indebted to her. God has richly blessed all that share her memory.
