Marcia grew up in Texas till she decided to move on her own and ultimately ended up in
Wyoming, where she met her soon-to-be husband at their church. She and Matt Anderson were

to celebrate a “New Start” for the two. While in Wyoming Marcia received her GED and worked
as a secretary, and she also helped at a friends furniture store being known as the ‘fix it’ women
in the house. In 2003 the couple moved to the Cities to be closer to family. Marcia was very
involved with her church, she loved babysitting children- and taking on them many adventures

moved to Merrillan. Marcia once again got involved with their new church, Bridge Church. She
will be remembered there for her giving heart- whether it be prayers or donations. She also took

Her master said her, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I
will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
