Marcia Stephenson, age 85, passed away on July 21, 2021, having completed her earthy assignment.

During her career she was office nurse for 3 specialties, pediatric intensive care at Shands, floor and charge nurse at Highlands Regional Medical Center, Navy relief visiting nurse, New Hope nurse, and finishing her career with Highlands County Health Department in Lake Placid. She dearly loved being a nurse and the people in her care. She met and married her husband of 62 years, Hap, in Norfolk, Virginia at his first Navy assignment.

Grandchildren – Chris, Kayla, Alexis, Bradley, Stephen, Jackson, Katie, Christopher and 1 great grandchild, Miranda.
