Marcie attended Live Oak High School and was a member of the Emerald Regime Marching Band, where she played trumpet. She furthered her education at Gavilan College, finishing her Early Childhood Education degree at Mission College. Marcie was a passionate teacher of
preschool age children. Marcie loved hearing that 'her' children were excelling. She worked at many pre-schools in the Santa Clara Valley and was a valuable staff member everywhere she taught.
She was a fabulous cook and enjoyed being in the kitchen with family members. She was always ready to lend a hand to family and friends. No matter what she was asked to help with, she was there.
