17, 2024. She was preceded in death by her husband,Maynard; son Martin;

After high school, Marcia worked for a time at the Lake-O-Made Ice Cream store 
in Lake Odessa, serving up ice cream cones, sundaes and banana splits. It was 
there she met her husband-to-be, Maynard, a frequent patron of the store.The 
couple married, and lived and worked on a dairy farm near Clarksville, where 
they raise their three children.

Life on the farm made for long hours and plenty of hard work, leaving little 
time for personal hobbies.But somehow Marcia found time to participate in 
bowling team and farm extension groups. The couple also traveled to visit other 
dairy farms with Harvester Silo groups, piling on tour buses and making life-
long friends along the way.Marcia was also a founding member of a group of farm 
wives called the Happy Hens, who were known to greet each other with a cheery 
"Cluck! Cluck!"

The past ten years, Marcia's home has been Fountainview of Lowell. Her family 
wishes to express deep gratitude an appreciation for her care during her time 
there, and for the gratitude and appreciation for her care there, and for the 
deep friendships of both staff and residents. Marcia had many big laughs (and 
quiet little chuckles)during her time there. 

Most of all, Marcia was a woman of deep faith, which never wavered no matter the 
circumstances. Her kindness and thoughtfulness will be missed by family and 
friends alike.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest contributions be made to Elmdale Nazarene 
Church and Clarksville Volunteer Fire Department.
