She moved with her husband and daughter to Hillview, KY, for four years before settling in Michigan in 1995 where she shortly thereafter transitioned to working in the safety and compliance department at KC Transportation in Carleton until retirement in 2018. Marcia will be remembered for her good-humored and candid personality, distinctive laugh, fun-loving nature, and strong will. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother Harold Fife and niece Tracey Wylie. Marcia is survived by her husband of 33 years, Danny; daughter, Cara Cimilluca; step-son and daughter-in-law Andrew and Tracie Dotson; step-son Abraham Dotson; twelve grandchildren and one great grandchild; brother Teddy Randolph Fife; sister and brother-in-law Sharon and Larry Wylie; and many other special family members and friends.
