Marcia and I worked together in Munson´s Business Office for several years, sharing an office and lots of laughs! I´m sorry to say that we lost touch after I retired from the job. She was a good caring person. My condolences to her family. She loved you all.

I worked with Marcia for years at Munson in the Business Office. I really enjoyed her and her sense of humor. My kids we little back then and they would always want to stop and see her when they came into the office. I am so sorry for your loss.

Marcia was my next door neighbor at Bay Hill. She loved sitting outside on her walker basking in the sun anytime it was a sunny day and never passed up that opportunity to get some extra vitamin D. I have a 13 month old and she absolutely adored her. Marcia will be greatly missed by her neighbors.

Marcia was my locker buddy in high School- We were in the "B" section of lockers! ! I loved Marcia for how fun she was and always ready for an adventure! Her continuous smile was infectious and her beauty was the envy I think of many of us high-school girls. As we got older we did not see each other very much- but the few times we did meet - she had the same sweet laugh and twinkle in her eyes, and was usually at one of her grandkids events! I will remember Marcia as a beautiful caring person who seems to have left this earth too soon. However, I am sure she will leave a memory of genuine love, laughter and beauty to all who knew her. My prayers are for Marcia´s sweet soul and her family at this difficult time! All my love, Mary Bartnick Kelly
