There Marcy resided and eventually met and married her beloved husband, Robert in 1997. They had a son born to them, Daniel, that very same year.

Marcy and Robert were co-managers of Las Palmas Mobile Home Park in Tucson for many years. In 2012, Robert retired and moved his family to Silver City, NM where Marcy lived out the rest of her life. In that same year, she developed COPD. Despite having a pulmonary disease and living on oxygen 24/7, she was full of life and humor. She didn't allow COPD to discourage her from enjoying the life that God gave her. Marcy was very loving to all of her family, friends, and animals.
