Marcia Lynne "Grandma" Tolle Durham, a radiant spirit whose warmth and vivacity lifted the hearts of many, departed this world on July 11, 2025, at Baptist Health Floyd. Born on April 5, 1943, in Dayton, Kentucky, Marcia was a remarkable woman whose life was rich with laughter, compassion, and an undeniable zest for adventure.

For over 15 years, Marcia dedicated herself to her role at McDonald's, where she became a beloved fixture in her community. With every shift, she greeted patrons with her trademark warm smile and kind word, forging connections that transcended the routine of fast food service. She understood the power of kindness, and her cheerful demeanor turned casual exchanges into cherished moments for everyone who crossed her path. She enjoyed collecting angels, cows and Ms. Kitty. She also loved to go to the casino.

An avid supporter of law enforcement, Marcia possessed a fierce loyalty that mirrored her sassy, outspoken personality—a true firecracker who kept everyone on their toes. Her passion extended to hobbies that included fishing and playing computer games, where her adventurous spirit found endless ways to connect with family and friends. Those fortunate enough to know her cherished her company, as her unwavering love for life and vibrant energy left an indelible mark on their hearts.

Marcia's legacy survives through her loving family. She is remembered by her devoted son, Rodney Lane and his wife Alexia of Texas, her daughter Roberta Mounts of Austin, Indiana, and her brother Robert Tolle of Kentucky. The family tree grows further with four adoring grandchildren—Anthony Mounts, Christopher Lane, Roger Mounts, and Marc Lane—as well as six great-grandchildren who will continue to carry forward her spirit of generosity and affection.

Reunited now with those who preceded her in life, Marcia joins her beloved husband, Lloyd Durham; her father, Robert Tolle; her mother, Loretta Reed Tolle; and her sister, Ida Kirtley. As we gather to celebrate her life, may we remember the vibrant soul who filled our lives with joy and warmth, forever echoing her laughter in the memories we hold dear.

Visitation for Marcia will be held on July 18, 2025, from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM, followed by the Funeral Service at 2:00 PM, all taking place at Christensen Family Funeral Home, located at 311 Holiday Square Road, Seymour, IN 47274. In this gathering, may we honor her legacy and embrace the love she so freely shared.

The family requests that memorials be directed to Fraternal Order of Police #108, Cops for Kids.
