Marcia was proceeded in death by her former husband and friend, Gage F. Hoag, her daughters Hope L. Schoolcraft, Kimberly A. Organ, and Jennifer L. Hoag, parents Rueben and Agnes Sherman, and brother Robert Sherman.
Marcia was born in Hartford, WI. She grew up, went to school, married and raised her seven children in the Milwaukee/ Wauwatosa WI area. Marcia loved to travel, taking cruises to Alaska and the Mediterranean and traveling to Sweden, Amsterdam and Ireland. Marcia was a voracious reader and enjoyed going to plays as well as enjoying a good steak with a glass of wine. Also, of course, Marcia enjoyed shopping and spoiling others.
Marcia was a strong independent woman and leader. She had a long and successful career in mentoring and motivating people. She started an auto dealership with her husband, and then began her extensive career in credit and collection. Marcia worked at Raintree Publishing, Thermal Company and Reinhardt Foods in Wisconsin.
Marcia was always ahead of her time and had an entrepreneurial spirit. In 1986 she started the Wisconsin Chapter of Links, Inc., a networking organization out of Arizona for female business owners. They would meet monthly for brunch, motivational speakers and networking.
In 1991 Marcia relocated to Phoenix, Arizona to begin a new chapter in her life. She started working as a temporary employee at Homedco making copies. Marcia then rose through the ranks to become Credit and Collections Manager. Marcia retired from Preferred Home Care, where she had many roles including Director of Reimbursements.
Mom always said her greatest accomplishments were her children. Everything she did was always with family in mind. There are so many memories, from trips to Disney World, to camping in Colorado, to funny face sandwiches and Sunday night dinners. Mom will forever be in our hearts and minds. We love you mom.
Due to the coronavirus, the family has decided to hold a private / family only celebration.
