Marcia, a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and a friend to many passed away during the afternoon of March 04, 2023 at the age of 75 after a courageous battle with C.O.P.D. Marcia was born January 18,1948 in the District of Columbia, (Washington DC) to William (Willie) and Martha Grubbs, the second of three children. In 1952 the family moved to Newport News, Virginia where Marcia graduated high school in 1966 and attended college at the Newport News Community College to study Business Managment.

Marcia met the love of her life, Fritz Herrmann in New Port News. They got married July 4th, 1981 and raised two children, Robert Anderson, and Patricia Denise. The family moved around from Virginia, Hawaii and North Carolina before eventually settling in Fritz’s hometown of Atascadero, Ca. where he retired after 22 years in the Army.

Marcia was best known as a Chocolatier who was always smiling and sporting very vibrant hair. Marcia was the owner and head candy maker for Herrmann‘s Chocolate Lab located in Templeton, Ca. She had a generous spirit and a fierce determination that she could do anything she set her mind and heart to. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Marcia’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life and not in the sadness of her passing.

She is survived by her Sister Kathy (Jim) Sommese, Husband Fritz, Son Robert Thompson, Daughter Patricia (David) Arebalo, Granddaughter Alicia (Haustin) Morrison, Grandson’s Brian (Jessica) Herrmann, Adam Arebalo and her Great Grandson, the apple of her eye Corbin Tuff Herrmann.
