I think about Marcia often, in fact I just moved back home to Spanish Fork from Sandy and to get to our new home we drive right past Marcia's home that she grew up in, so every day now I am reminded of this sweet and cherished friend whom I miss and love. We did have sleep overs and many fond memories in Junior High and High School and all the friend get togethers we had up until the time she passed. She is an elect lady....truly loved and missed!!

Marcy was a true friend, always loving and giving. I worked with her for many years at Moog and enjoyed her wit and upbeat personality. She will be truly missed and a friend forever.

Tom and Family - Marcy and I worked together for years at the Deseret Press and then the LDS Church printing center. Marcy was so competent and took pride in doing a good job. What a great work associate. She was the kind of person you also wanted as a friend and I count myself lucky to have also been a friend. I enjoyed being in your home a few times.
God bless you all during this sad time. I know you've been blessed with the memories of a lovely wife, mother and grandmother.

Aunt Marcia, we are so sad to see you go but know you were ready and had your family by your side. I am so happy we were able to reminisce about old times and joke around two weeks ago. My heart goes out to your family - Tom, Evan, Conely, and Natalie. We love you.

Marcia was my very first "best friend" in Spanish Fork. We went to the Thurber School together. I have fond memories of sleep overs, and adored her younger siblings. She was a true friend throughout my school years. May you find comfort in this difficult time and know that your family is in my prayers.

After working with Marcy at Moog for several years, I will miss her dry sense of humor and her ever open heart to friends and the daily trials that come with life. She was a true friend and I will never forget her.
