We feel blessed to have had her with us for 95+ years. She made a positive mark on our world and will be greatly missed.
May God’s comforts be yours, precious Marck family.
My memories are dear from St. Andrew’s School days with your family.
Condolences to you and your family! Your mother was a wonderful lady! She was my 4th grade teacher at Washington School back in the 50s! Best teacher ever! My parents were friends of the family! She had a heart of gold! She will be missed deeply!
So sorry to hear of the death of your mother. Denise and I are praying for you all.
My heartfelt prayers are with y’all. Miss both of you.
Aunt Junie was a wonderful woman. I have fond memories of visiting their home as a youngster and the good times I had with the son and my cousin George. Joan was kind enough to keep in touch through letters and an occasional phone call throughout my adult life. I regret not being able to visit her over the years but will remember her thoughtful and loving personality.
My heartfelt condolences to the George Marck family and the extended family that knew and loved Aunt Joan
I had Mrs Mark as an elementary school teacher. She was always so kind. God rest her soul. My sincere condolences and prayers to her entire family
You and your family are in my thoughts during this sorrowful time.
Sending warm hugs and prayers on the loss of your lovely mother. She was a blessing to all that had the privilege to know her!
Mrs. Marck made my 4th grade year one of the best years ever! She was an amazing teacher.
