The last 25 years were spent in Pleasant Hill with her dad, Lone Jack with her niece and Lee’s Summit at Wilshire at Lakewood Rehab Center. She was a member of Lee’s Summit Christian Church where she enjoyed worship and fellowship.

Marcia had the sweetest soul. She was so smart and could remember things and dates that the rest could not. She valued being able to do as much for herself as possible. She loved her family and spending time with them camping, traveling, playing games and having reunions & picnics. She made many friends along the way, and she couldn’t wait to introduce you to the next person she met. Her hobbies included crocheting, sewing, crafts, reading, puzzles, social media and watching movies. Marcia loved learning about history. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl E. and Juanita C. Moore. She leaves behind her siblings Pat Moore Wynn of Pleasant Hill and David E. Moore (Kathy) of Lee’s Summit, four nieces Christine Ackley (Andrew), Jennifer Borland, Laura Moore and Amanda Moore, and one great niece, three great nephews and four great-great nephews.
