I will always treasure the times spent with Aunt Marcie and Uncle Bud. She always liked to tell the story of me as a little girl putting salt in her bed. I have fond memories of playing the piano for her as a young girl also.
God truly blessed us with this sweet and loving woman.

Marcia Ann Brewer
May 19, 1940 ~ July 15, 2012
Marcia Ann (Simmons) Brewer, 72, of Columbus, IN, passed away at 1:38 a.m. Sunday, July 15, 2012, at Miller's Merry Manor in Hope, IN, following a lengthy illness. She was born May 19, 1940, in Oakland City, IN, to the late Arthur and Marie (Hensen) Simmons. She was a graduate of Oakland City High School in the class of 1958 and was an avid IU basketball fan. Marcia married Morris "Bud" Brewer on November 4, 1961, and he preceded her in death on February 4, 2011. She was also preceded in death by a son, Gary Gene Brewer. Marcia lived everyday with a positive attitude. Even after learning of her diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, she chose to fight it rather than dwelling in negativity. Her positive outlook and uncommonly kind demeanor inspired many. She attended church regularly as a member of First Baptist Church and led a devout Christian lifestyle. She loved spending time with her three grandchildren, whether it was teaching them piano or going on walks in the woods. Reflecting her selfless attitude, Marcia enjoyed making the people around her smile. One could often find her at any of the local nursing homes, playing the piano and visiting with the residents. She often played at Miller's Merry Manor where she would spend her last days as a resident. Marcia is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Jerilyn Brewer of Hartsville, IN; brothers, Jack Simmons of Oakland City, IN, and Larry Simmons of New Concord, KY; and a sister, Rae Couts of Phoenix, AZ. She is also survived by her special grandchildren, Jessica, Jenna and Jonah Brewer, and several nieces and nephews. FUNERAL: 11:00 a.m. Wednesday July 18, 2012, at Jewell-Rittman Family Funeral Home, 3855 25th Street Columbus, IN, with the Rev. Dan Cash officiating. ENTOMBMENT: She will be entombed with her husband at Garland Brook Cemetery Mausoleum. VISITATION: Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 50 E. 91st Street, Suite 100, Indianapolis, IN 46240.

I read of your mothers passing and wanted to offer my sympathy for your loss.

We met Marcie and Morris through the Model A Club. She was one of the kindest, sweetest people we have ever met. We don’t know that we ever saw her without a smile on her face during that time. Morris was also a wonderful person who did his best to take care of her as long as he could.

Time has kept me away, but family is forever. I appologize for not comeing down more often. Keeping a family and work has kept me close to home. You have our deepest regards.
