Ms. Townsend was a graduate of Eastern High School in Washington, D.C., and held a career in the lumber mill industry as a receptionist in Springfield, Va. She was an avid sports fan, especially devoted to her Washington Redskins. Ms. Townsend enjoyed her 1987 Olds and cruising around town in it. She loved her friends and family, and she welcomed them at every opportunity. Marcie Townsend was a loving and faithful wife, foster mother, and dear, dear friend, who will be deeply and genuinely missed by all who knew her.

In addition to her parents, Ms. Townsend was preceded in death by her foster daughter, Debbie Suits; and her godmother, whom she affectionately called "Toodle." She is survived by her beloved wife, June Baker of Rehoboth Beach; and her foster daughter, Phyllis Sweitzer.

All services will be private. Arrangements are being handled by Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Lewes.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in Ms. Townsend's memory to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.
