While raising her sons, Marcia attended Luther College and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1992. Marcia then worked for Luther College for over 30 years. Joe and Marcia just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in Sept. One of Marcia’s greatest joys was spending time with her kids and grandchildren, who she often referred to as her little angels. She always felt so fortunate to have her family live near to her. When Marcia wasn’t shopping for heels, you could often find her on a walk, preferably around town where she would talk to anyone she met along the way. With her strong love of music she enjoyed playing the piano, listening to classics, and attending many concerts. Marcia also enjoyed planning trips with her friends and family.
