I knew Marcie because her grandson Mike Hamm married my daughter Sarah Ward. Marcie was always very gracious to me. It was obvious she was very much loved by her great grandchildren, Xander Hamm (my grandson), Chance Hamm (my step-grandson), and Ally & Makayla Hedrick (my “honorary” granddaughters). My very sincere condolences to the entire family.
