It was a true joy to have known Marcia Horton. Her wit and intelligence were a delight always. Her musicianship was much admired by many of us, and I have many fond memories of playing with her behind the handbell table and under her direction. She will be sorely missed by all of us in the handbell community. Bells are surely ringing in heaven today!
