She grew up in Southern California and graduated high school from Valley Christian in Bellflower, CA and Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI.

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, Jane and Joy;
Our friendship started when we all went to Israel together some 20 years ago and it was fun to keep up and see each other almost yearly after that! So thankful that we spent some wonderful time last December staying in the same house in California and having a wonderful time together. So thankful she is a child of God and is home with Him now. We will continue to love and pray for you all.

Dear Glenn, Jane, and Joy. It's difficult to think of any of you without thinking of how Marcia completed your family just like she completed the OC family and church family. God gives us a limited time on Earth and Marcia made the most of her earthly moments. We praise God for her time here and hope you feel God's loving arms around you all .
