Marchia was loved by everyone in her life because she had a rare gift, she made each person feel truly special. She was fiercely independent, never wanting anything from anyone, yet she gave so much of herself to those she loved. Her greatest joy was her nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Her love for her family had a way of bringing everyone together-she was the one we could always go to. She was the glue that held us close.
