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 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.
