She graduated from James Monroe High School in Los Angeles and later with a Bachelor's Degree from Cal State Northridge University.

Marcie was a mother and homemaker and worked part-time for the Sisters School District in the special education department and at the alternative school. She had an ability to connect with her students and was a valued mentor and supporter.

She enjoyed cooking, reading, attending musicals and theater, riding roller coasters, spending time with family and friends, strolling through open houses and teaching her daughters her old cheerleading routines. She wasn't afraid to question the rules and was proud to stand up for what she believed in.
