Marcia A. Reichel

May 10, 1938 - February 9, 2015

Marcia Reichel, 76, loved to move about the country and over the years she did just that with Gus Beilmann, her first husband and then with AJ Reichel, her last love. With her fondness for moving about she swore she was part gypsy. Being part gypsy also gave her a love of bright colors and lots of gold bracelets. She was born Marcia Ann Ellerman on May 10, 1938 in Eminence, Missouri in a house right on the Jacks Fork River. She was a star volleyball player in high school and because of that she marveled that she never had to take a science class. Marcia was a pretty dang good cook in her day and could make a mean batch of fried chicken and the best potato salad you've ever had. She loved to eat buttered saltines sprinkled with lots of pepper and never passed up a cookie. Laughing was a favorite pasttime. On February 9, 2015 Marcia took her final trip. She leaves behind to cherish her memories what she considered her finest accomplishments - her 5 children along with 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. She also leaves behind her husband AJ, a sister and many friends from all walks of life that she met in her travels. Marcia will be missed sorely. Anyone wearing black will not be admitted to the funeral. Wear bright colors. She is not dead. She is alive. As she would say, "So far so good". The funeral will be on February 23rd at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel at St. Jude Catholic Church, Tequesta, FL.
