Gene: My condolences are with you and your family. Wayne Nichols
Gene, We are so sorry for your loss! We are thankful for the promises of Christ! You and the family are in our prayers! Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth R. Burcham
Sorry to read about your loss. Gene and Marcie were a big part of my life growing up in Emmanuel UMC. Prayers and thoughts for the whole family. Paula (Dailey) Schumacher
When I think of Marcie, what comes to mind is ‘blessed are the pure in heart.’. She had a pure heart, among many other attributes. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. We can be thankful for her life and for this promise. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Gene and all the family.
I remember going to Gene & Marcy’s huge home in Wilmore, KY. Each year we would take a group of kids from Emmanuel to attend ICTHUS in early spring. The Young’s opened their home and hearts to us and it seemed to always rain that weekend. Didn’t seem to bother Marcy, she’d bring out more towels to dry off the soaking wet kids. Marcy always saw the best in every situation. Her laugh was contagious and her compassion for others was outstanding. I’m glad I had the privilege of knowing Marcy. Gene, I am sorry for your loss, but know that you will see her again in heaven. Hold on to that. Carole Lynch-Holman
Marcie and I instantly connected and have remained close friends for many years. We have shared stories, laughed and cried, and promised to always see and call each other more frequently. When we were together we talked nonstop. We have watched our grandchildren grow up over the years. I told Marcie I needed her more than she needed me, as she was grounded, wise and calm, even with all of the curve balls she was served. I cherish our happy memories and I know Marcie is with God. I will miss and remember her always! Cindy Crawford
Marcie was my first friend when my family moved to Indiana from West Virginia. She invited me to youth group at the EUB Church in Noblesville and has remained a faithful friend throughout the years. She and Gene were full of faith and they have blessed my life. I am grateful for her life and witness. Linda Wyatt Muterspaugh
I treasure fond memories of Marcie when we attended 3rd ward school and were members of Brownie Scouts . I adored her wonderful mother who help with the Brownie Troop. Marcie was always such a kind sweet person that I know will be greatly missed. Shirley A. Cook Fahrenkamp
Gene and family-We were saddened to hear of Marcie’s passing. This brought back a flood of memories to us. The first time we met you two was in our marriage enrichment group which we continued meeting with after the weekend retreat. Remember traveling to Tensleep, WY for a week long family retreat-the wonderful devotions, delicious food, especially the trout caught from the stream, the mountain peak that looked like Jesus kneeling in prayer, etc. Shortly after, you and Marcie were called into ministry. We helped you move to Wilmington, KY and spent the weekend at your home. Also, our Sunday School class, Fa Ho Cha, at St. Luke’s UMC in Kokomo assisted with your vision. Our connection during the years to follow was mainly through Christmas letters as your family moved from parish to parish and we were busy rearing our family and with our careers. Gene, we did get to visit with you about 10 years ago when you presided at a wedding that we attended in Mooresville. Unfortunately, Marcie had another committment and we did not get to see her. We remember Marcie as a devoted wife, mother, and friend who was a devoted Christian. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you celebrate her wonderful life. Dennis and Rhoda Barkman
We only knew Marcie through the stories Gene told when filling in at St Paul UMC in Bloomington. The love and devotion they had for each other was unparalleled and such an inspiration to others. Gene and family, our heartfelt prayers are with you all during this difficult time…. May God hold you close to his breast and comfort you all. God Bless. Rob and Sandy Hahn St Paul UMC Bloomington, IN
Our prayers and sympathy go out to you and the family in the loss of Marcie. I very much enjoyed working with her on the Emmaus Walks. She was always willing to give of herself in anyway she could to help on the walks. May God be with you, Gene, in the loss of Marcie. Love, Kay and Lamar Ziegler
Gene and family, I know you will miss her so much on this earth. I will miss seeing her at the Relay for life, and the Race for the cure. One thing Marcie and I had in common was our surgery date was exactly one year apart. When ever I do another walk I will have her on my back in memory of her. She was right there for our family as you were Gene when we went through so much. Thank you to her family for sharing your Mother with all of us. I know that when my day comes to go to heaven she will be there waiting. You are all in our prayers as this will be a difficult time to go through but, remember God will see you through it all. From our family to yours with Love Pam Mowery McClain (Gig, Pam, Marsha, and John)
Troy & family, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love, Joy Biggs
