Even though I didn’t attend the reunion, this weekend brought back many memories of Marcia.
Every time I see our yearbook, I think of her. As Editor in Chief, she was the driving force behind the Kingdom theme, working alongside Sandy Mack, who brought Marcia’s vision to life with illustrations. Marcia was always so creative—building something truly standout and memorable.
Beyond her creativity, Marcia had both the intelligence and the warmth that made her so special.
Her obituary, written by her sister and brother, captured so much of her essence. Yet, it couldn’t quite capture everything—the great smile and the deep, infectious laugh I was lucky enough to hear often during seventh period when we worked on the yearbook together.
Her spirit, her energy, and her joy will be missed.
Marcia and I met in grade school. She was soon to become one of my best friends. We were in many classes together throughout our tenure at Fairview, Central, and Prospect. Unfortunately over the years, we lost touch. However, I remember many good times with Marcia at sleepovers, birthday parties, Girl Scouts, Camp Norwesco, summer trips in Michigan, and working on the yearbook. Marcia was creative and artistic. Her macrame skills were second to none. She was a voracious reader and incredibly intelligent. On many a walk home from Prospect after school, we would talk about the state of the world and what the future would hold for us. The world has lost a sensitive and precious soul.
Mary said it beautifully - Marcia was a thoughtful and sensitive soul. She was one of my best friends and patiently taught me how to sew. Only one garment, a top, resulted. But it was a triumph nonetheless and she made me feel well accomplished! Her creativity was boundless. In addition to mad macrame skills, she would create beautiful quilt pieces and often created personalized gifts in needlepoint or crochet that inlcuded iconic sympols or images relevant to the recipient. My parents kept many of the girfts she made for them and some still hang at the Cottage in Michigan. I remember visiting her in Denver in a darling house she purchased in town. She had what one might call a crafting closet today before it was a thing like it is now. Definitely ahead of her time. Some of my favorite High School memories are of Friday nights at Mary Clark's house where the 3 of us would make pizzas from scratch.
