I had the extreme honor and pleasure of working with Marcia for many years at Northville. Her bright smile and easy manner always made it a joy to enter her library. She loved sharing books with the children of Northville and she was a frequent "guest reader" in my third grade classroom.
She was a lovely colleague.
