Condolences to entire family. Yes she had style like her Mom. I'll always remember her coming to physical therapy in Kirkwood. Her, always fun, finger nails. Support dogs, Goldie and Bentley. We enjoyed Goldie after her retirement.

I worked with Marci for about 7 years at Ranken Jordan in the Volunteering Office. She was an inspiration and so very kind to all that she met. Always looked forward to seeing her new nails and Bentley/Maddie. Her contagious smile will be missed! Prayers and thoughts are with anyone that had the pleasure to meet her! RIP Marci!
