She loved to dance; tap dancing in her teens and flamenco in her 40s. Winning the Detroit Metropolitan Spelling Bee in 1957, she went on to be a lifelong Scrabble champion with all who played with her. A true patriot and history buff, she enjoyed studying the founding fathers and Revolutionary War. Moving to a smaller town like Salida fulfilled her dreams of living in the country. She knew how to enjoy the simple things in life. Her pride and joy was in her family’s accomplishments. Her faith was steadfast and she loved to read the Psalms and pray for her loved ones. Marcia’s circle was small but very well-loved. She carried out her earthly assignment with love, devotion and perseverance. She is greatly missed. Marcia is survived by her brother Bob (Val) Kellner, children Dale, Don, Julie (Edward) Treat and Lisa (Scott) Simmons; as well as many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
