Marcia A Vicencio

Marcia Vicencio passed away peacefully on July 24, 2025, surrounded by love and cherished memories. Born in Gloversville, New York, on December 19, 1944, Marcia lived a life defined by compassion, curiosity, and deep connections with those around her.

Marcia began her professional life as a teacher in upstate New York, spending most of her career at Knox Junior High School in Johnstown, New York, where she was affectionately known as "Mrs. V." She was well loved and deeply respected by both her students and colleagues for her dedication, warmth, and sharp wit.

She later enjoyed a successful career in the leather industry before eventually relocating to Plattsburgh to be closer to her family, where she joined The Northeast Group. There, she served as Purchasing Agent and became a valued accounting mentor to many. Her guidance, patience, and experience made a lasting impact on generations of employees.

An avid traveler, Marcia explored the world with her children, grandchildren and great-granddaughter often in tow, creating unforgettable memories along the way. She nurtured friendships wherever she lived or visited, building lasting bonds through her warmth, humor, and love of life.

Marcia was known for her laughter, her sense of camaraderie, and her joy in a good game of bridge or mahjong. In her later years, she was buoyed by a vibrant circle of close friends-her "girl gang"-whose love and support brought her great happiness.

Marcia was predeceased by her parents, Rita Farrell Ermie, Orlando and Caroline Ermie; her brother, David Ermie; and her sister, Sheila Askew.

Marcia is survived by her loving children, Dennis and Betsy Vicencio, and their spouses, Lisa Vicencio and Jon Grald. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Bridgid Vicencio Murnane, Evelyn Vicencio, Santana Vicencio LaBarre, and Joseph Vicencio, and a doting great-grandmother to Rayne Vicencio Murnane. She also leaves behind her beloved brother, James Ermie, his wife Sherry, and their children; her dear cousin John Farrell, his wife Christine, and their children Matt and Megg; and her nephews John (Janelle), Eric (Lisa), and David (Lisa) Askew and their families.

Marcia's circle of love extended to countless friends, many of whom guided and supported her through her final runway. Marcia's legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the laughter she shared, and the lessons she imparted. She will be deeply missed, eternally loved and remembered.

There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at St. John's Episcopal Church, 1 N Market Street, Johnstown, New York 12095; services at 11am followed by a group gathering. In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed to VNA &Hospice of the Southwest Region, Rutland Vermont or Mountain Valley Hospice, Gloversville, New York.
