Marcy grew up in the Mt. Hope area until she went to secretarial school in Madison where she met Buzz.

She and Buzz enjoyed travel throughout their lives including Thailand, Morocco, Jamaica, Spain, China and retired for 24 winters in Orange Beach, AL. Her favorite place was Porters Lake in Wautoma, WI. For 62 years, she loved this special place and enjoyed it with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and her Porters Lake family. She spent numerous hours of late sitting on the porch watching the birds.
