Marcia Blanche Allen

Marcia Blanche (Boyd) Allen, born July 10th, 1947, passed away
peacefully in her home in Warren, Ohio on June 24, 2022.
She joins in death her parents Garfield and Emma (Hodgson) Boyd, brother James
Boyd, and sister Beverly (Boyd) Marsh.
Marcia leaves behind her husband James Allen, brother Robert Boyd, daughters Heather (Palmer) Burkey, Melissa Palmer, and Betheny (Palmer) Ruiter, sons Ian and
Nathaniel, and grandchildren Tyler, Treavor, Tanor, Tristan, KJ, Austin, Maggie, Charlotte, Lucy, Nora, Adam, Mary Clare, JD, Melody, Maelynn, Jared, Ryan, Matthew, Branden, CJ, and Amanda. She was expecting her first two great-grandchildren later this year.

Marcia, a 1965 graduate of Eastlake North (OH) High school, spent her professional career as a bookkeeper, but will be best remembered as a mother, grandmother, wife, sister, and friend. She spent the majority of her days in the service and in the company of others. Whether it be sports events for her children and grandchildren, organizing social events with her friends, helping a loved one in need, or traveling miles and miles to be with her family and friends across the world, Marcia had a unique love of life and selflessness. That love was best expressed by her contagious laugh.

Marcia had a sweet and loving soul and never met someone she didn’t try to help. She was a mother to many and a friend to all. She will be sorely missed.

Marcia will be honored at Lane Family Funeral Homes Shafer-Winans Chapel located at 164 North High Street, Cortland, OH 44410 on Saturday July 2nd, with calling hours from 1p.m. to 3 p.m. and a service at 3 p.m.
