Marcia making the church look beautiful!"
Marcia was born on June 12, 1936 in Oswego, NY. She grew up in Hannibal where she graduated from
Hannibal High School in 1953. Marcia was formerly employed as a nurse’s aide at Michaud Nursing
Home, a nursing assistant for a local doctor’s office, a clerk with Montgomery Ward and in the office at
The George Washington University. She also worked as a floral designer with her sisters at Design
Accents by Nancy. She was able to continue her passion for floral design as she volunteered her time
as a designer and coordinator for the Gift Shop in Memorial Hospital of Union County when she lived
in Marysville, Ohio from 1994 to 1999.
However, Marcia was best known for being a loving mother to all of her children and making
everyone feel welcome with a warm smile and open arms. She enjoyed singing in the church choir,
long talks, traveling, flowers and gardening. She had a special gift for crocheting beautiful pieces, all
of which will be cherished by her loved ones.
She was a former member of the Granby Center United Methodist Church and a member of the United
Methodist Women. Marcia was an active member of the Fulton First United Methodist Church where
she served as a trustee and volunteered on several church committees. She was predeceased by a
daughter, Raye Ann Gleason.
