Nick and family, so very sorry to have learned of your loss. Knowing Marcie I know she would have put up a strong battle. I didn't know her well but what memories I have are of a fierce, intelligent and super competent woman. That spirit will be with you always.

I worked with Marcie for many years at the Department of Social Services. I was so saddened to read of her passing. Marcie was a lovely, accomplished and spirited colleague who always brought a smile to my face. I am sure she will be missed, especially by her husband Nick. My sincerest and deepest condolences to Nick and her family.
