We worked with Marcia at TWA. Lovely lady, so full of joy!! Our prayers are with the family.
Our prayers at this time of Marcia’s passing. I enjoyed getting to know her through the Altar and Rosary Society and as a Eucharistic Minister. She always had a smile on her face and a friendly greeting to share. May she Rest In Peace.
My prayers to Marcia’s family.
Gone from our sight but never our hearts
E ho’omaha me ka maluhia. (Rest in peace) my friend
I’m so sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing. Love and prayers to Ken and family.
Chris and I am so sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing! She will always be remembered as an awesome and devoted wife and mother, and a good friend of ours especially when we lived in the Brookhaven neighborhood! Marcia will also be remembered for the many hours she registered helping the Park Hill swim/dive teams while Kevin and Malia were on the teams!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kenneth, Kevin, Malia and your entire families!!
My memory of Ken and Marsha go back to 1972 at my wedding.
They celebrated with us and I remember Ken getting us on FIRST CLASS for our honeymoon flight.
I could tell they were an example of a loving marriage and that always resonated with me.
Having lost my Kathy in 2009 I know full well the loss Ken is feeling and my thoughts and prayers go out
to him and all the family.
Ken,
So sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing. You are both in our prayers.
Paul and Peggy
