Marcia L. Holly
Marcia L Holly, 66, a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all she met, of 21 Gates Hollow, Bradford, passed away Saturday, February 15, 2020, at The Pavilion @ BRMC, surrounded by many.
Born October 6, 1953 in Bradford, she was a daughter of the late Wayne A. "Skip" and Marge M. (Witter) Manges.
She was a 1971 graduate of Bradford High School.
On October 9, 1982 in the West Branch United Methodist Church she married Jeff A. Holly who survives.
Marcia had been employed as a receptionist for over 40 years, working for Dr. Robert E. White, Dr. Walter Brodis, Dr. Thomas Castillenti and she retired from Bradford Family Medicine and Dr. Jill Owens. Marcia was greatly valued for her caring and compassionate demeanor, her ability to understand and empathize with patients. Her efficient work ethic got the job done right.
Marcia enjoyed watching the food channel and trying new recipes, planning snacks and cooking meals for family gatherings and races She liked to vacation in Myrtle Beach, crocheting, knitting, and relaxing on her deck with a glass of wine. Her greatest joy came form spending time with her grandsons and going their motocross races.
Marcia had the ability to tell it like it was, but was willing to listen and be supportive when a friend was in need of a shoulder to lean on. She always had her hair and nails done, and had a smile for everyone. Many people walk in and out of your life but only true friends leave a footprint on your heart.
Surviving is her husband Jeff of 37 years, one daughter, Shannon Kirk, of Bloomsburg, two grandsons, Griffin Kirk and Gage Kirk, one brother, James L. (Karen) Manges, of Bradford, two nieces, and several cousins.

She was always a kind, caring person who we all loved. I have many good memories to cherish of her. RIP my friend. Prayers for her family and friends.

Marcia was a kind, loving, caring person.
She always had a smile. Marcia and my sister the late Colleen Hannon Nuzzo were friends since grade school. They always were laughing whenever they met up.
Our parents the late Harry and Gwen Hannon were life long friends with Skip and Marge Mangus. My mother Gwen and Marge went to school together.
Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

I used to work with Marcia in the 80’s at Penelec, and enjoyed seeing her at Dr Owens office. I had no idea she was ill until I ran into her last year at Walmart. Knowing her fate she was so courageous and in good spirits it was remarkable. Marcia was beautiful inside and out and will be truly missed.
