Service Details
Marcia Faye Vos, 71, passed away surrounded by the love and prayers of her family and friends on July 15, 2020 at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. Services will be held Thursday, July 23 at 10:00 am at Crossroads Fellowship Church, 1200 60th Street in West Des Moines, IA.

Marcia was born March 29, 1949 to Eugene Koning and Nellie (Groenendyk) Koning in Chicago, IL. She grew up in Southern California and graduated high school from Valley Christian in Bellflower, CA and Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. She attained her Master’s Degree from Morningside College in Sioux City, IA. Marcia taught for 35 years in various Christian schools in Iowa, California and Michigan. She had a tender heart for all her students, especially for her special education students. She was an avid reader, enjoyed cooking, baking and needlework. She led many bible study groups in various churches that she attended throughout the years. She loved the Lord with all her might and had a true servant’s heart combined with more patience than any of her family could comprehend.

Dear Glenn, Joy, Jane and family,
What a beautiful service that we were able to watch and thankful to be a part of all the way from CA. God was glorified through it and we were blessed. Thank you for the beautiful video that was thoughtfully put together, sniff, sniff. Your family and ours have a very special bond through Joy and we were privileged to be part of that union. May God strengthen and fill you with peace in the next chapter. We love you,
CA cousins, Sharon & Ted
