Granny Marci was Beautiful woman! I have many fond memories, funny stories and I have been blessed in my life by her! Love and prayers to the family! Until we meet again granny, keep smiling and praying for us!
You are greatly missed Aunt Doll. I have so many great memories of you growing up. Thank you for being such a joy in my life.
Dear Wren,
You have my thoughts and prayers. I know that those who knew, even a little were impressed by her interest and enthusiasm for life. I only met a fe times at retreats, and Iknow it was a joy to be around her. May your memories of her re asource of comfort and strength at this time.
My deepest condolences to Marcie’s family. My fondest memories of Marcie was during a road trip to Austin to run or walk the Austin marathon. Marcie was our roommate and I recall her hilarious stories about attending her class reunions and dating. She was known for her bright running outfits and if we misplaced her along a route she could be found near a coffee shop . I will never forget these sweet memories. Rest In Peace Marcie.
She was a beautiful Christian woman and lived her life to the fullest. She was kind
And loving to all she met.
I’m so sorry to the McCaskill family, and offer my prayers for Marcia’s peace. May her love live on through you.
You and your family are in our prayers. Sorry to hear of your loss.
McCaskill Family,
What a wonderful time Marci is having! I don’t know of anyone who will enjoy Heaven more than she will! Everything she has believed,by faith, about her Lord she now knows to be true. She is a shining example of a Christian’s life that is lived as long as He gave her breath.
You’ll be missed. You have been an inspiration to me. I remembered when we talked about doing the Honolulu marathon. You were still a youngster in your late-70/early 80s. I remembered thinking well if she can do it I can also. We never got to do it together. But it is still on my bucket list.
Wren,
So very sorry for your family’s loss!
What a blessing your Mom must have been to all who knew her.

Marcy was such a great and fun person. She was a wonderful neighbor! I remember as a kid going over to her house and helping her grade papers! She was such a nice person to us kids and we always loved hanging out with her! I know she is looking down and smiling on us all. Thank you Robin, Wren and Greg for always sharing her with us. I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.
Marcie was a wonderful example of a true Christian lady. She always had a kind word and a beautiful smile for all. She faithfully followed her Lord . We will miss seeing her, but she is rejoicing in the arms of her Lord.
