Marcie attended Central High School and played in the orchestra. She enjoyed writing and baking, and in her younger years, she loved dancing at Turner Hall with her late husband, Elroy. She worked at Rennebohm Drug Store before her marriage and later continued her career at Curtin Call Communications, retiring in 1993.

Marcie enjoyed birdwatching, playing bingo, and watching Wheel of Fortune with Elroy. She also enjoyed word search puzzles, solitaire, and latch hooking. She and Elroy found joy in attending church together.
