We always loved spending time with Marcia. She had such a spitfire personality — it reminded me so much of my own mother — and she accomplished so much in her lifetime, especially for a woman of her generation. She was truly a remarkable lady and will be missed by so many. Sending all our love and deepest condolences to your family.
