Marcia was born in Harlan Kentucky on May 13^th, 1973. She was the baby of 9 siblings and she let everyone know about it. If you ask any of them she was the most spoiled and always got her way with everything. Marcia loved to play basketball and dress up her pet pig and paint it’s nails. Everywhere she went she had to have a Reese’s cup and Mello Yello in her hand. She was fun, energetic and independent but stubborn as a mule. Marcia always had a smile on her face and a joke ready to be told. She never met a stranger that she couldn’t strike a deal with because she always needed to borrow 5 dollars. She was loyal to those around her and she cared deeply about them too.

She was preceded in death by both her parents Arnold Joseph and Elva Lucille Joseph. Marcia was also proceeded in death by 3 of her brothers; James Arnold Joseph, Michael Allan Joseph and Dennis Victor Joseph.
