Marcia Ann Berg unexpectedly passed on December 31, 2024, at her home in Riverside, RI. She was 60 years old.
Marcia is survived by her brother Gary, her sister Susan (Huaco), and her two nieces: Elizabeth and Natalie Huaco.
Marcia was born on October 30, 1964 in Concord, Massachusetts to Noel and Irene A. Berg. Both of her parents were born in New York City.
Marcia grew up in Acton, Massachusetts and attended Kreb Grammar School in Lexington, MA, Acton Boxborough Regional High School (class of 1984) in Acton, MA, and Mitchell College in New London, Connecticut.
Marcia was an incredibly caring and compassionate person. She had an intense love for animals, and over the years had rescued numerous dogs and cats. She was a generous humanitarian, raising and caring for the developmentally challenged, both on a professional and personal level. She worked as a CNA for the State of Rhode Island, and later as a foster parent where she opened her heart and home to two special needs adults, also for the State of RI.
Ever stoic, Marcia met numerous personal health challenges throughout her life, yet always placed concern for others before herself. She was a devoted daughter, loving sister, and doting aunt. She has left us all too soon and will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched.
Services, per request, will be private.
In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to a humanitarian charity of your choice.
