She loved to sew and spent many days at Lake Perry sailing with Bob and their children Sherri, Kim, and Jeff. Marcia was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Tillie Lerner; her sister, Rene and her husband Herbie Schwartz; her son-in-law, Max Komet and her grandson, Zachariah Komet . . . aleichem hashalom.

Marcia also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Daniel (Anna) Hermanson, Nathan (fiancé-Jaimi Elkins) Hermanson, Gavriella (fiancé-Tom Kreft) Komet and Katriel Komet. The world will not be the same without her loving kindness and caring. Marcia will be missed but remain in our minds and hearts forever.
