I enjoyed working with Marcie every August to get her MSU volleyball season tickets renewed. She was a wonderful fan and will be sorely missed.

Marcie was so well regarded here in the Senate. She was very unassuming and was such a sweet soul. May God bless all her family and help them through their loss of such a wonderful person.

Marcie was one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met. We spent countless hours during basketball and volleyball with the girls and I enjoyed every minute with her. She always had a smile and good things to say -- she was one in a million. I am so sorry for your loss. Our love and prayers go out to you all. Kris K and family

Dave and family: I am so sorry to learn of Marcie's passing. She and I worked together at the Legislature where we all had a passion for our work and a love of our co-workers. Recently six of us were able to get together for lunch when I was in town. What a blessing that we were all able to be together. Marcie was kind, gentle and loving and will never be forgotten. May your lifetime of memories help you through these sad days ahead. Prayers and Blessings, Carol Cruz

So sorry to hear of Marcie's passing. I so enjoyed her company at the Hannah painting class. I admired her artistic skills. Her pictures always had that Marcie style. She was warm and friendly and always had a smile. I will miss her.
