Marcie enjoyed baking and made many beautiful wedding cakes for friends and family over the years. She also enjoyed NASCAR and was a huge fan of the Earnhardt family. Marcie's favorite moments in life were spent with her husband Jake and their family along with their favorite furry companion JR (Fred) at their home on Lake Norman in Mooresville NC. She loved cruising around the lake on their Pontoon boat, especially when the grandchildren were there and were tubing behind them on the boat.
