Marcia grew-up in a small Illinois town, has lived most of her life in Wisconsin, and is thankful to live now one block from her MI daughter and daughter-in-law. She was thankful to have lived near her CA daughter, son-in-law, and beloved grand-daughter and grandson for eight years prior to moving to Lansing. She is also the delighted grandma of two grand-dogs!
After college Marcia taught junior-high art in Hinsdale, Illinois, followed by decades as associate librarian with the active Youth Services Department of the Hedberg Public Library , Janesville,WI. She brings with her to St. Michael’s her love of God and people and has a heart for contemplative prayer and social justice action inspired by the teachings and actions of Jesus.
