Mementos

It is with sad hearts we are informing you of the passing of our sister, Marcia, a beloved sister, wife and family member.

 

She is survived by her sisters, Debra T. Greer, Carol S. Tschirgi, Bonnie Tschirgi, Cousins Jim Brown, Marty Brown, Sara Bocci, Lora Becker, Dan Tschirgi and lots of nieces and nephews.

 

She was born in Des Moines, Iowa, attended Simpson College in Indianapolis, IN 1963, and graduated with a degree in Liberal Arts/Education.

 

Marcia taught English at Smokey Hill High School in Cherry Creek, Colorado, and was the coach for the women's golf team.

 

Marcia met, and soon after, married the love of her life, Leonard Kirkley in June 1974.

 

She loved participating and watching most sports, as well as meeting with her regular bridge club. Marcia was an avid reader and always had a good book recommendation, suited for things each person liked. She loved her arts and crafts. Marcia made some amazing quilts and did china painting which we all have several of her pieces in our homes.

 

She will be greatly missed. There will be a private Celebration of Life for family.

 

In lieu of flowers to honor Marcia, please consider planting a tree (couple places listed below). Or grow some beautiful flowers in your garden because she always loved all the diverse colors. Marcia also, loved the pets in her life and so enjoyed being around them, she would be greatful for any donations to a rescue shelter that is dear to you such as:
