Little Rock, AR Monday, January 26, 2015 Just heard and was very saddened to learn this past weekend that my Cousin Marcia had passed away. I will always have fond memories of her taking me to the movies on Saturday afternoon when I was a young boy in Dermott. I always thought Marcia was so “cool” because even though she was an “adult”, she always had K-A-A-Y on the radio which played rock and roll in those days. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones that she left behind. I agree with the other posts that our Heavenly Father and Jesus are cherishing her wonderful sense of humor and musical talent. May God Bless all who knew and loved Marcia Lynn.Greg White

Monticello, AR Friday, May 18, 2012 Ms. McIntyre was truly a beautiful person-inside and outside. She meant so much to me. The first thing she ever said to me was "Where do you go to Church?' I told her I had been out of Church for a long time. She asked me to her Church and didn't give up till I went. That changed my life around and I'll never forget her. RIP Ms. Marsha--I love youS.

Little Rock, AR Thursday, May 17, 2012 Libby and Beth, My heart is breaking to hear the news about Marcia. Oh the memories I have when she and I taught together for sooooooooo many years! There are so many funny stories, sad ones and dramatic ones (at least to us) that it would take a book to write them all up. She was my rock when I started teaching Kindergarten there and became my dear, dear friend. There is absolutely no one like her - she will be missed. My prayers are with all of you and your families! RIP my friend, Marcia.
