Three years too late. It was with great sadness that I heard of Marcia's passing. She was my director of nursing at Charlesgate and I'll never forget all she taught me. We became friends and had great times. Lou, I'm so sorry for your loss but am so happy Marcia had you in her life. Judy and the rest of your family Marcia spoke of all of you with great love and affection. I'm so sorry I didn't hear of this until now.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy at the loss of Marcia. Marcia gave me my first nursing job at Maristhill and I worked years later with her at Charlesgate Manor. Marcia was a kind and compassionate nurse to those she cared for...she was respected by the staff she worked with and thanked by the families of residents in her care. Rest in peace Marcia for a life well lived.

So sorry to hear of Marcia's death. Too young to go. Although first cousins, we have not seen each other for years. When we are young, we think we will have close family ties for ever but over the years we drift apart. My condolences to her husband, brothers Doug and Matt and sister Julie. May God grant them peace at this time.

to the family of Marcia,

I went to nursing school with Marcia. I am stunned to hear this news. I am so sorry for your loss. Last time I saw Marcia was at a mini reunion of classmates in 2010. She and Jancie were the life of the get to together.....She had us all laughing till our stomachs hurt. I will always remember her for her quick wit and smile and the laughter that filled others with joy. My prayers for you.....we know where Marcia is..........she is well..........and hopefully has seen Faye and my Dad and has given them a good laugh for the day.

God Bless

Dear Cousins' Doug, Matt and Judith,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of Marcia as my first boss at the Marist Hill Nursing Home. She was my first female professional role model and she was an excellent one; kind, supportive and competent. I always looked up to her as an older cousin. She was beautiful.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
