FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

With extreme sadness and a broken heart, I'm sharing the news that my wonderful Wife and Best Friend for the past 33 years passed away peacefully on Friday, August 19, at the age of 64.

I will be forever grateful for her strength, patience, compassion, her incredible sense of humor and wit, and her deep love for her family.

Marci graduated with Honors from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1981with a B.S. in Accounting. She worked for Arthur Anderson, Mark Twain Bank and Ralston Purina, before deciding to leave the workforce to raise her children.

Marci is survived by her Husband John, Daughter Maggie and Son Steve, Father and Stepmother Morgan and Pat McCandless, Sisters Julie Telker, Patti McCandless and Janet Bigler, and Sisters-in-Law Mary Walter, Cathy Eidson, Virginia Knabe, Patricia Knabe and Susan Fincher, as well as many cousins, nephews and Nieces. Marci is preceded in death by her Mother, Rose Marilyn Anderson.

A Celebration of Life is planned for September 18 at the Missouri Botanical Garden.

The family askes that donations be made in Marci's name to the Lewy Body Dementia Association.
