Marcia Abel Obituary
Marcia was born on July 30th, 1946 to Navona Vearl (Tucker) and Marvin Leon Talley in Cape Giradeau, Missouri.
On May 14th, 1965 Marcia was united in marriage to Ted Abel in Halfway, Missouri.
Marcia proudly owned her own business, called Sycamore Lane, then later Black Velvet Nostalgia, selling gifts and collectables. Stating that Marcia was an avid fan of Elvis Presley, would be an understatement to say the least. She enjoyed all things Elvis! Additionally Marcia loved to proudly collect and display her family heirlooms, and spend time with her beloved dogs, Tucker and AJ.
Marcia is survived by her husband, Ted, of 60 years, and Daughter, Lea Rae Parker, daughter-in-law, Angi Abel, grandchildren; Allison, Ashley, Aimee, Gabriel, and Morgan, and 9 great-grandchildren.
Preceding Marcia in death are her parents, Marvin and Navona Talley, sister, Donna LaCrue, her son, Aaron Abel, and son-in-law, Ronnie Parker.
Services for Marcia will be held on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025 at 11:00 AM at the Heaton-Bowman-Smith-Sidenfaden Chapel officiated by Pastor, A. Douglas Cline. The family will receive friends in visitation, one hour prior to the service, starting at 10:00 AM.
Interment to follow at the Savannah Cemetery in Savannah, Missouri.
Memorials may be directed to InterServ in lieu of floral arrangements.

Joy and I are heartbroken and very sorry we are not able to be with you this week. I know Marsha, Aaron and my mom are cutting up in Heaven - maybe even pulling in Elvis. I can't imagine what they will come up with, but I know it will be full of laughter, sharp wit and the right amount of sarcasm (okay, maybe a tiny bit too much). I also know they are looking back at those of us still here and would want us to remember what they brought into our lives and what precious times we had together. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those that she held so dear.

Marcia was one of my favorite people over the years. She was always smiling and cheerful and loved to laugh. I know her family will miss her, but they will rejoice that she is in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
