Marcie, you are so loved! We miss you and regret that you are now beyond our embrace. However, if there’s a party going on in the afterlife, we know you are celebrating being free from sickness! Till we meet again…June and Darlene

I send my sincere condolences to Marcia’s family. I knew her as “Marci” when we worked together as electricians for Union Carbide at the Institute facility . I don’t remember what time span that was (1980’s I think) and that is not important. What is important to me is that she was a hard working, honest, smart and fun co-worker. Carbide transferred me from the Kanawha Valley after that and when talking with other co-workers of that time, her name often came up. Everyone who knew her and/or worked with her always had nothing but good words to speak about Marci.
