Marcia Lee Pomerinke

April 1, 1926 - December 12, 2017

Marcia was born April 1, 1926 in Seattle, Washington and she grew up on the west coast. At 16 she married the love of her life, Marvin Pomerinke, and they celebrated 62 years of marriage. Together they raised four children, Carol, Ken, Ron, and Joanell in California. in 1986 Marcia and Marv moved to Newberg where they were very involved in activities like square dancing, ballroom dancing, camping, the Christian Motorcyclist Association, and various Christian fellowships. After Marv's death in 2005, Marcia remained very active. She worked at the thrift store, food bank, blood bank, played in a Bunco group, card club, made ceramics, was very involved in many different kinds of crafts, and was a member of the Renegade Red Hat Society. Marcia always loved game day. In fact, she played games with friends just a few days before her passing. She also enjoyed putting puzzles together (unless there were missing pieces). Marcia's family was the most important thing to her. Her legacy includes four children, 15 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren, and two great great-grandchildren. If an event involving family was happening she wanted to be included. Not just to be there, but to be involved. She took shots of liquor with grandkids and she always wanted to taste red wine even though she said she only drank white. At that point then she liked the red wine and had a glass with everyone. If the wine changed, she wanted a glass, and of course there was that chocolate sweet tooth of hers. Marcia loved jokes and always had the most precious face when she laughed, so we all laughed - as often as possible. Marcia would love it if everyone would join together and just laugh - at your favorite, funny memory of her and her fun-filled life. Marcia did not just have a life, she LIVED her life. In this life she loved and was loved. What does this mean? Come find out on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Northside Community Church, 1800 Hoskins St., Newberg, OR 97132.
