Marcia Gayle McArthur Stewart was born April 1, 1941 in Salina, Utah. She died April 19, 2000 after a courageous battle with ALS.

She died in her home with her loved ones close by. Marcia married Guy Stewart on April 16, 1960.She is survived by her husband, two children, Gaylen Stewart (Michelle) of Sandy and Michelle Brooks of Draper, and her three grandchildren Elyse (4) Kelsey (4) and Lauren (2).

Marcia loved her family above everything else.

Her talents as wife, mother, and grandmother were demonstrated daily.

Her cooking, sewing, and baking delighted family and friends. Marcia has a sense of humor and smile that would light up the room.

We will miss her dearly.
