I was in Marcia’s class in high school. And you girls were around me in Schroon Lake. And I’m so sorry that you lost your mother. I remember her as a beautiful girl, pretty with a good sense of humor. So much history, so many memories! It sounds like Marcia had an interesting life. l’m glad she was near to you at the end.
I so very very sorry to hear that my dear Aunt Marcia has passed on! She was a Great Super Aunt along with her younger sister, Dorcas Liberty, who was also a Great Super Aunt! Aunt Marcia definitly had a great sense of humor! When I worked for a summer in NH I visited her in Ticonderoga and we hiked up Mount Defiance together and discussed life and how to “…fix the world!” I will forever Love & Miss her dearly, and her beautiful laugh and smile! My heart is saddend but knowing she is now with Grandpa & Grandma and her beloved sister, Dorcas, in that better place is a comfort to know! My heartfelt condolences to all her great kids, my dear cousins and their great famalies! Rest in Peace Aunt Marcia!
