Marcia Murakami Obituary
Dr. Marcia Ellen Murakami, age 69, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2020, in her home surrounded by family. Born in May 1950, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was the eldest child of Tomomi Murakami Ph.D. and Mary D. Murakami.
Marcia is survived by her husband, Philip Henrici, son Jonathan (Heather) Henrici, granddaughter Henley Henrici, brothers Robert, Keith (Amanda), Thomas and sister, Linda Murakami.
A graduate of Swarthmore College and Chicago Medical, she attended a radiology residency at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center. She married Philip Henrici JD on February 25, 1984.
After a twelve-year career at the University of Florida, Jacksonville, Marcia began a greater than a twenty-year career as a consultant and assistant professor of radiology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville with expertise in abdominal and breast imaging. She served as division chair of Ultrasound and authored five papers and five book chapters.
Marcia was an avid international traveler and explorer. She also enjoyed cooking and dining with her family.

I just did a Google search for Marcia. I considered her to be my girlfriend when we were in Elementary school at Avon School, Barrington, NJ. After about 4th grade her family moved to Cherry Hill, NJ and I lost touch with her. I liked her because she was smart, and I can see, from reading her obit, that she really was. I feel a loss.

Dear Phil, Jon, Bob, Keith, Thomas, Linda and families,
Deepest sympathies to all of you from the Moriuchi family. Remembering happy childhood times either racing around the Fellowship farmhouse or digging into the Murakami's pile of comic books. I hear our parents' voices to keep it down.
I will remember Marcia's calm, wit and wonderful smile.
Love to all,
Agnes Miyo Moriuchi, Fred, Carol Kiyo & Nancy Chiyo

Just learned of Marcias passing thru Zach. We are all saddened by your loss and want you to know that we are here for you if needed. I remember her coming to Jonathons' tennis matches at Bolles after work. She appeared to be the calming force for him during competition! Her beautiful smile was welcomed by all at Bolles Tennis! Thinking and praying for you all.

Marcia radiated kindness at all times. She had such a calming presence to her. We put on a baby shower together to celebrate Jon, Heather & Henley. We had play dates at her beach house for the kids to play. She was always so welcoming to our young, slightly rambunctious family. I look up to Marcia as a mother, wife and medical professional. Our thoughts & prayers are with everyone.

Tom, Linda, Bob and Keith: My deepest sorrow for the loss of your beloved sister. Marcia was a beautiful and generous soul - a sacrificial wife, mother, and a true professional. She will be sorely missed. Truly the world has been blessed by her presence on earth and anyone who had encountered her can attest to this fact. She deserves to be in the company of angels and wrapped in the arms of God.
