Marcie was the third child born to Lee Ewing, a farmer, and his wife, Helen, who was a teacher. She grew up on a farm in McComb, OH, with her two sisters, Madge (Paul) Lugibihl and Joyce (Don) Warren. Her parents and her sisters all preceded her in death.
During her childhood Marcie loved raising animals for her 4H Club and entering them in the county fairs. She earned many blue ribbons over the years for her efforts. Marcie's second love as a child was playing the piano and singing. As an adult, she participated in community theater, along with the New Bedford Singers in Lambertville, MI.
Upon graduating from McComb High School in 1955, Marcie ventured to the big city of Toledo, OH, to attend and graduate from the Mercy School of Nursing. While in nursing school she also worked part-time assisting a physician in advancing new research on heart transplants. After graduation Marcie began her career at Mercy Hospital as a surgical nurse. Later in her career, she worked in the surgical purchasing arena, ordering specialty instruments for the doctors. She retired in 1999.
At the tender age of 22, Marcie met and married David McCartney. Not only did she marry David, she also married his three small children, Mike, Jim and Jennie, all under the age of 5, and immediately stepped in and became their devoted mother. Marcie and David went on to add to their loving family with two more children, Doug and Deanna. Marcie raised her family in Lambertville, MI, and continued her career at Mercy. In 1977 Marcie and David went their separate ways but always remained good friends.
For some people, car trouble can be a headache; for Marcie, it turned into a wonderful problem. The last of the downtown full-service gas stations, which was one block from Mercy, not only repaired her car it also repaired her love life. For this is where she met Abe Newmark, proprietor; it was love at first sight. Marcie and Abe were married and spent 17 loving years together until his death. During those years with Abe, together they traveled to Europe, Las Vegas, the Caribbean, and many other fun places in the U.S.A. with their good friends Marv and Donna, Joanie and Mitch and Linda and John.
Marcie was a very fun-loving person and could put a party together at a minute's notice. She made the Newmark home a great place to be. On the more serious side of Marcie, she was a caretaker to all those in need, at home and at work. There wasn't anything Marcie would not do for you. Later in life Marcie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It quickly put her in a wheelchair and relocated her from her home to her new home at Kingston Assisted Living. During all these major life changes nothing could dampen Marcie's spirits. While at Kingston, she made herself the Ambassador of Goodwill among the residents and was loved by all the staff. It was at Kingston that she passed away with her Kingston family by her side and her loving family in her heart.
Marcie suffered a cardiac event following years of Multiple Sclerosis. She was survived by her five devoted children whom she loved and cherished very much, Michael of New Mexico, Jim and Aimee of West Virginia, Jennie and Lou of Portland, Oregon, Doug and Marie of Portland, Oregon, and Deanna Kraft of Toledo, Ohio. Also surviving were her grandchildren, who meant the world to her, Melissa, Tyler, Erin, James, Ryan, Krystal, David, Duncan, Harrison and Sean and her very special great-grandchildren, Morgan, Mason, Jude, Jack, Lily, Milo, Remy, Rowan, Deuce, Kyle and Skyler; and many of her nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. She also cherished all her brothers and sisters-in-law.
Marcie's desire to donate her body to science has taken place. A celebration of her life was held on October 13th at the Elks Lodge on Holland Sylvania Road.∼Marcella "Marcie" McCartney-Newmark, who worked with a physician in advancing new research on heart transplants, died Sept. 11 at Kingston Care of Sylvania. She was 81.
She suffered a cardiac event following years of multiple sclerosis, her daughter, Jennie McCartney said. Her mother didn't let the disease limit her life as she continued to travel and live life to the fullest.
"She was just a bright light. She lit up everybody's life," Mrs. McCartney-Newmark's daughter said.
While in nursing school, Mrs. McCartney-Newmark worked with a surgeon who was researching and experimenting with heart transplants. Following graduation from Mercy Hospital, she served as a surgical nurse.
"She was always innately born to take care of things — from her animals to her baby dolls," her daughter said. "She just always stayed a caregiver."
The McComb, Ohio, native grew up on a farm, and primarily helped her parents with daily chores before she moved to Toledo to continue her education, her daughter said. She raised animals, earning several blue ribbons from county fairs.
Later in her career, Mrs. McCartney-Newmark worked in the surgical purchasing arena, ordering specialty instruments for the doctors. She retired in 1999.
"She was a nurse and she never lost the desire to help and to care," her daughter said.
She continued to volunteer medically for different studies, and donated her body to the University of Toledo Medical Center, the former Medical College of Ohio Hospital.
She was born to Lee and Helen Ewing on Feb. 3, 1937, and she graduated from McComb High School in 1955.
When she was 22, she married David McCartney, and the couple lived in Lambertville, Mich. In 1977, the couple divorced, but remained friends.
When she was in her 40s, Mrs. McCartney-Newmark met her true love, her daughter said.
Mrs. McCartney-Newmark had car trouble one day and stopped at a gas station — one block from work. That's where she met Abe Newmark.
Mr. Newmark told Mrs. McCartney-Newmark's friend he would marry her. And he did.
The couple spent 17 years together, traveling the world and hosting fabulous parties, her daughter said. Mr. Newmark preceded his wife in death in 1995.
Mrs. McCartney-Newmark enjoyed playing the piano and singing, but she truly enjoyed people, her daughter said. She participated in community theater, along with the New Bedford Singers in Lambertville.
Surviving are her sons, Michael, Jim, and Doug; daughters, Jennie, and Deanna; first husband, David McCartney; 10 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren
A celebration of her life will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday at the Elks Lodge #53, 3520 N. Holland-Sylvania Road.
