She was blessed with 11 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

      She was preceded in death by her husbands; Clark Wiese and C. Merrick Band; and was the last survivor of many brothers and sisters.

      She was currently a member of St. Bernard's Parish in Appleton, having also been a member of Corpus Christi Parish in Destin, FL, and St. Maurice Church in Ottawa, Ont., Canada. While in Destin, Marcy was an active Member of the choir and the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Corpus Christi Parish.
