Marcia Lynn Kalka

Marcia Lynn Kalka, 71, of Cecil, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, with her loving husband by her side, after an extended illness. She was born to the late Frederick and Matilda Vetter on October 11, 1953, in Pittsburgh. Marcia Kalka was a devoted wife, mother, aunt and grandmother. She was a pillar of strength and a source of unwavering support for her family, always putting her children's needs before her own. Marcia instilled an excellent work ethic in all her children and often worked two jobs throughout her life to ensure that no need went unmet. Throughout Marcia's life, she found joy in traveling and spending time with her family. She particularly enjoyed cruises to the Caribbean and Florida. On many vacations, she would enjoy time on the beach. While raising her kids, she found joy in watching them play sports and listening to them play the piano. Marcia was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and cheered for the Black and Yellow every Sunday from her home. Marcia was fond of cats, regularly taking in new cats that needed a foster home. She particularly loved playing with her cats and enjoying their comfort. Marcia is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Jerry Kalka; her devoted children: Jayme Milani (Mark Wolfe), Jeremy Kalka (Nicole), Dr. Nathan Kalka (Alicia) and Corey Kalka (Lauryn); her cherished grandchildren: Abby, Hayden, Lucas, Sydney, Clark and Miles; and her beloved sisters, Darlene Weidenheft (the late John Weidenheft) and Barbara Dominowski (James); and her beloved brother, Ronald Vetter (Donna). The family would like to thank the staff at Amedisys Hospice Care for their compassion and care during Marcia's final days. No service or arrangements will be made at Marcia's wishes. Her body has been donated for science to further medical research. Marcia will continue to live in our hearts, and we will miss her greatly.
