She was predeceased by her beloved sister, Mary Poeta. Marcie was a devout Catholic and member of St. Rita's Church. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed making meals for her family. Marcie loved to read history books, biographies, and autobiographies. She appreciated museums, great classic movies, and walking miles around Hamden. She loved her flower garden and trips to New York City to visit popular landmarks. She had a flair for fashion and always looked lovely. Marcie was a kind, compassionate, patient person and a devoted wife and wonderful mother and grandmother. If anyone had a problem she gave moral support and the person felt relieved of the burden.

Some of her most joyous moments were times spent with her grandsons whom she loved dearly.
