Marcy’s world revolved around her family, which was truly her everything. She created a warm and welcoming home where all were greeted with open arms and an open heart. Her life was a living example of her faith-filled existence, as she walked in grace and extended compassion to everyone she met. Marcy’s thoughtful nature was evident in the careful attention she paid to the needs and happiness of those around her.
