Marcia Gillow Obituary
Jan. 19, 1949 - March 18, 2018
EDWARDSBURG - Marcia Marie Gillow, age 69, of Edwardsburg, died peacefully Sunday morning, March 18, 2018, in the Center for Hospice Care in South Bend.
She was born January 19, 1949 in Flint, Michigan to Harold and Nina Pudvay.
Marcia was all heart and could talk to anyone. She loved her animals. She loved to garden, to read, and could - and did - cook anything at any time for anybody. Marcia was very detail-oriented, keeping a meticulous diary, and writing down everything that happened every single day. Everyone she met was a friend.
Marcia will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by one son, Eric Millbaugh of Maine; one granddaughter, Kenzie Gillow; two grandsons, Hawk Gillow and Tucker Gillow; her mother, Nina Pudvay of Edwardsburg; one sister and brother-in-law, Coral and Tom VanBuren of Decatur; one brother-in-law, Harley Smith of Suttons Bay; numerous nieces and nephews; family of the heart, Nick and Sharon Nickoson of Edwardsburg, Jen (Jereme Sharp) Robinson of Cassopolis, Ruth Johnson and Don Henley, both of Edwardsburg; and too many friends to even begin to mention.
In addition to her husband, David M. Gillow, Marcia was preceded in death by her father; two sons, Kelly Millbaugh and Ari Gillow; one sister, Bonnie Smith; and her brother, Ted Pudvay.
The family will observe a private remembrance.
Because of her love for animals, please make any contributions in Marcia's name to the Cass County Animal Shelter, 323 North M62, Cassopolis, Michigan 49031.
