I had the pleasure of working with Marcia when she started to work at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. She had no accounting background when she started but in record time she was an accomplished accountant, so as Secretary of the church, she handled all accounting records. I was Secretary for five years before her and she stepped in without skipping a beat. She was truly accomplished in all aspects of her job which involved a great deal more than just accounting and she will be sorely missed. Signed, Stan Stevens.

Dear Marcia,
Welcome to Heaven. I pray that you and Michael are together again, I know how much you've missed him. We'll be okay here and I promise we'll always be a family and stick together. You were a force to be reckoned with for sure. Funny, determined, talented, loving, and strong...all the things a woman wishes she could be. Thank you for being the best grandmother my children could ask for. Much love.

It's hard to imagine a world without Aunt Marcia. She was a friend, she was a mentor, she was a shoulder to cry on, and she was ruthless at a game of cards. I'll love her to the end of my days and beyond.
