Next she attended Saskatoon Teachers college, and then obtained a Bachelor of Education at the University of Calgary.
The death of her father in childhood, and later of her sister in early adulthood, were difficult losses that instilled in her the core values of family and gratitude, and were evident in the smile she wore whenever she was with her family.

Marci was a woman who loved life and enjoyed travelling across Europe. She had a passion for exploring new cultures, meeting people and trying new things, working as an Au Pair in France and living in Quebec for a period to learn French. Her love of music was evident in her vast collection of albums and her love for attending concerts. She had a fondness for shoes and always made sure to have a great pair for every occasion. Marci was also a master bridge player, she loved the strategy and challenge of the game and was known for her quick wit and sharp mind at the bridge table. She enjoyed playing with friends and competing in tournaments and was a respected member of the local bridge community.
