Marcie
December 24, 1933 to June 4, 2013
She was the very best Aunt anyone could ever have. She was more like a second Mom to us rather than an Aunt. She live close by during my childhood, so we saw her often. For the last 24 hours I have had so many memories pop into my head. This picture captures her joyful spirit. She loved people and "adopted" many and treated them like family. She had a servant's heart and would do most anything for you. When my son Ryan was 8 and had to stay overnight in the hospital after an operation, she stayed the entire night with me as we both watched over my son. She said I was the one you named her "Marcie", because when I started talking Marilyn was too hard to say. She liked it so much, she became Marcie to everyone. She faithfully sent birthday and anniversary cards and cards for all the holidays and always signed them "Love you ever, your old ancient auntie Marcie"
We praise the Lord for the gift of having her part of our life.
