Marcha was a fellow quilter and helped me many times over with quilting projects with knowledge and always a wonderful sense of humor. It was truly a gift to know her.

Marcha was a bold person and spoke the truth. I loved her honesty and ability to connect with visitors to the Penn State All-Sports museum. She and Tom also supported our kids programming, by supplying the museum with their delicious apples during our trick or treat event. Thanks for many years of service to the museum, you are greatly missed.

I did not know your loved one, but I am so sorry for your loss. The majority of us are not strangers to loss. Many who have experienced loss find these practical suggestions helpful. Allow yourself time to grieve, talk about your thoughts and feelings, accept help, draw closer to God, visualize the resurrection. Doing these things has given many people, myself included, the strength to go on. My sincere condolences at this difficult time.

Condolences to the Drake family.
I was very sorry to learn of the passing of Marcha. She was one of my favorite docents when I was director of the Penn State All-Sports Museum in the early 2000's. Marcha had the perfect personality and background for a docent. No one was better than Marcha in trying to give visitors, especially the children, an experience they would never forget.
Marcha also had a passion for her hometown of Greensburg, something she shared with our mutual late friend and Penn State broadcaster Fran Fisher. Whenever they were in the museum together, it was like a mini-reunion.
Thank you, Marcha, for all that you did for the museum.
RIP....
