Marcy was a beautiful and classy woman. A picture of perfection. I enjoyed all the girl's luncheons we had over the years, classmates from Alliance.
The angels are rejoicing!
Prayers and blessings to her family.

Marcy and I grew close when we taught together at Mason School. She was such a lovely person and I was blessed to keep in touch with her over these many years. She had such a wonderful attitude about her death and looking forward to seeing Jesus. If she could talk to us now I'm sure she would say, "See, I told you so". I know she is lighting up Heaven.

What can one say about such a special person? Marcy was an inspiration to many of us in Alliance. She had it all and did it all so nice to everyone, a natural leader, generous, good grades, our representative to Girls State, Worthy Advisor of Rainbow Girls, president of the Honor Society, a varsity cheerleader and class secretary, plus lots more. She definitely deserved the honor of being named the Outstanding Senior Girl in the AHS Class of 65.
She loved to laugh, and while we had some serious conversations about death these past months, above all I remember us laughing.
Marcy regretted that she would miss future times with Gary, Sarah, her friends and family, and especially her grandchildren, but she was at peace and looking forward to this next phase of life. Though we'll miss her, we can take comfort in knowing that she's with the angels.
