I don't even know where to begin. Marcie and I met some three years ago through the children ans we share our first granddaughter (the double Mimi's). Marcie and I shared many memories within the last three years all were wonderful ❤️. She was a breath of fresh air and funny as ever. I loved our friendship that ultimately turned into sisterhood. Later to find we shared the same birthday 2/8 babies... I can only pray God wraps his loving around around Steve, Mama Lynn, Erica and Ahmad at this time. My deepest condolences to the family. Marcie will be truly missed and loved by many. I promise to make sure our babidoll knows you as She grows.. Fly High sister girl. Love always 💖

Marcie was a literal breath of fresh air. I met her when I was around 14. Her smile could light up a room. We immediately connected and stayed in contact. I spoke to her last month and told her she was heaven sent. I had no idea that would be my last heart to heart with her. On Mother's Day she texted me also and I returned the love. I have been sad for days. You were the sweetest woman I have ever met. From the looks of it everyone else thinks so too. I love you so so so much and I'm just devastated. I ask God to wrap his arms around your family thru these terrible times. Know that you will NEVER and I mean NEVER be forgotten. I know you made it to heaven with a heart of gold like yours. And I hope to see you again one day🫶🏾🕊️ Get Your Rest Queen❤️

The times I visited her home, when it was time to leave she would say don't be a stranger you know we are family, even though not by blood but by friendship & love. You will definitely be missed. Rest in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Love you always Marcie.

She would always come up and talk to me and Tootie when she would see us. I will miss you Marcie. There are not a lot of people left in the world like you! Rest in God's arms. He loves you the best! Tammy, Paul & Tootie.
