Remembering Marcia Walcott

Marcia Walcott, age 72, of Jenison, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Monday, July 10, 2023. Marcia worked as a court reporter for many years, working for the Ottawa County Courts. Her biggest loves were baking and spending time with her grandchildren. Marcia was incredibly hard-working and a generous soul. She always found the good in others and would encourage others and help them to be the best versions of themselves possible. She was preceded in death by her father, Nelson DeVries; sister, Judy VanDyken, and brother-in-law, Dennis Taylor. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Tami (Brian) Carter, Joel (Tryna) Walcott; grandchildren, Remi, Ethan, Raegan, Makayla, Noah, Griffen, and Scarlett; mother, Marie DeVries; siblings, Karen (Roger) VanDyke, Bette Taylor, Rick (Phyllis) DeVries, Lori (Scott) Nowlen, Cork (Mary Jean) DeVries; former husband, Tom (Kim) Walcott; brother-in-law, Rich (Linda) VanDyken; and many nieces and nephews. An open house to celebrate Marcia’s life will be held on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, from 4-7 p.m. at Iglesia Alas de Aguila, 6375 Winans St., Allendale, MI, 49401.

Marcia had a beautiful soul and was kind to everyone she met. As sisters, we made a lot of memories while growing up ourselves and while raising our kids. She was loved by all and will be missed

Tami and family…our hearts ache with you as you grieve the loss of such an amazing soul who was such a huge presence in your family and so many other peoples lives. We are so blessed to have known her and delight in her sporting treats and she always saved extra for me. I loved her presence and she will be missed. Praise God we know she is in the arms of Jesus but also praying for your hearts to mend as you walk through this season.

— Diaz Family

I am so sad to read this. Marcia was one of my favorite clients at the salon. I have missed her since retiring. I have been thinking of her because it is blueberry season. We had some great talks and she loved her family! Treasure your memories.
