She loved music and to dance, her favorite dance song was by Billy Ocean, “Caribbean Queen”, Marcia and George also loved to travel, always headed to a beautiful beach like Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico and took road trips, endless camping and boating trips.

She even made the newspaper in Redding, California for one of his singing telegrams. He even dressed up as “Cupid” on Valentine’s Day, shooting arrows of hearts around the house. She never knew what to expect next! True Love.
