Marcia Jean Andersen

So sorry for your entire family with the passing of Marcia. She was a special lady and a friend to so many. Our friendship goes back many years. She will be missed.

My memory of my cousin Marsha is that she was both a beautiful person on both the outside and inside. Such a heart warming smile and happy conversations. Our world will miss her and needs more like her.

My heartfelt condolences to all of Marcia's family and friends. Elmer and my dad, LaVern, were brothers. My family lived on the family farm until I was 5. We moved to Michigan and when we returned a few years later Elmer and Marlys lived on the farm. I loved going there! They were so fun and full of laughter. I remember Marlys putting this huge platter of steaming corn on the table for lunch, known as dinner in those days. (Dinner and Supper) We had a bowl of butter nearby. Marcia and I got to grab a dab and smear it on the corn with our hands. They simply laughed and I was thrilled. Marcia and I also spent a great deal of time spying on Dixie and Harold coming home from dates. Kissing!!
I last saw Marcia in person during my GCHS 50th class reunion 15 years ago. I stayed with her in Waterloo. We had so much fun together. I even opted out of a reunion after party for an evening with her, Beth and Gary and a bottle of wine. Their family love for each other was palpable.
She will be missed. I'm grateful to have had her as my cousin.

I met Marcia through the Fredsville Church. Marcia was a "woman of faith". I enjoyed stopping by to see her when she lived in Cedar Falls. We always got a good visit in. Marcia had such a big warm smile for her friends and a wonderful laugh! My deepest sympathy to her family.
