Marcia loved playing bingo, shopping, and, most importantly, visiting with friends in their retirement homes.

She will be deeply missed by many friends.

Fly high with the angels, Marcia! The family would like to thank all the agencies that provided home care to Marcia over the years and the staff and residents at Trillium Long Term Care Home for their care and support in recent months.

As per Marcia’s wishes, there will be no visitation or service. A private family interment will be held at Glenhaven Memorial Gardens at a later date. For those desiring, memorial donations to the Kingston Humane Society would be appreciated.
