I only knew Marcia through her daughter my dear friend for over 40 years, Catherine Colligan Yates. We spoke about our moms often. After reading her obituary I learned so much about her that I didnt know ! Now I see why Catherine is such a wonderful person, kind, lo ving , ambitious, smart and a loyal friend. Im sure Marcia is happily reunited with her dear husband. God bless the Colligan family. May you sense the Lords nearness as you grieve her. Much love Catherine and Denis Laplante

Marcia was a dear friend since her early days at Dartmouth. I will never forget the wonderful hot tub sessions, started by Charlotte years ago, and continuing at Marcia's Tahitian spa. I hope your memories will give you some comfort at this sad time. Sadly, Barbara Gerstner

Julia, Tom and family, My love, heart, and prayers are with you all as you go through this difficult journey of the loss of Marcia. With the Lord by your side may you be at peace. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you all With love Ann Kendall

I was saddened to hear about Marcia´s recent passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know her when I worked at Dartmouth. Sending love and prayers to her family.

Dear Colligan family. I´m sorry to hear about your mom´s passing. She was amazing in all she accomplished especially in raising all of you. Sometimes I babysat you when Susan was busy. Bruce and I thoroughly enjoyed the Classicopia concerts we were able to attend. I hope you can find joy in your memories. Be well . Sending love and hugs. Marcia (Dalphin) and Bruce Williams.

I was one of those men who worked with Marcia for many years in her Dartmouth risk management role, and her professionalism and common sense approach made serving the College a pleasure

My dear dear Marcia whom I've had the privilege of coloring and styling your hair for the last 20+ years. You were always a bright spot in my schedule, and a wonderful friend. Ill never forget the day you asked for your ' blue-tiful' flame for a very special wedding, which became your trademark.. You will be missed by many.

Catherine - I remember your mom fondly. She, my mom and Joyce H were close. I wish you all the best memories. I hope she, mom, dad and George are all gathered together. Carol Berndt Peters
