Marcia E. Talbott

She was born in Knightstown, Indiana on August 15, 1931, and graduated from Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, IN where she met the love of her life, her “Sam,” Frank C. Talbott. They were married in Indianapolis, IN on October 16, 1950, and remained married for 48 years, until Frank’s passing in November, 1998.

Marcia enjoyed a very full life and dabbled in many different career paths before settling into a full-time career as a travel agent. She worked at American Airlines as a Reservationist, she was a model, she was the Editor of the women’s section of the Woodbury, NJ weekly newspaper, and a Girl Scout Leader, to name a few.

As the result of her travel agent position, Marcia became a world-wide traveler. She visited all of Asia, India, the Middle East, Central and South America, and all of the Mediterranean. She loved cruising best, and in her early 80’s, traveled alone to China and the Far East. Her last trip was about five years ago to Alaska where she cruised with her closest friend of over 50 years, Doris Price.

Marcia was a lifelong and active member of The First Church of Christ Scientist in Seminole, FL, having participated as its First and Second Reader. She had a passion for God, family, travel, history, fashion and reading.

She is survived by her six children: Betsy Thompson (Bob) of Largo, FL; Nancy W. Rachlin (Steve) of Naples, FL; Frank C. Talbott, Jr. (Margaret) of St. Augustine, FL; Peg Talbott-Lane of Collingswood, NJ; Richard A. Talbott of Conshohocken, PA; and Mark W. Talbott (Susan) of Lansdale, PA. She is also survived by her six grandchildren: Courtney Jones (Greg) of Chesterfield, VA; Jeffrey S. Rachlin of Bensalem, PA; Jonathan D. Rachlin of Bensalem, PA; Sgt. Evan J. Talbott (USMC) (Michelle) of Ft. Belvoir, VA; Jacob W. Talbott of Lansdale, PA; and Garrett D. Talbott of Lansdale, PA, as well as her two great grandchildren, Ian A. Jones and Ainsleigh E. Jones, of Chesterfield, VA and many nieces and nephews.

Marcia is preceded in death by her husband, Frank C. Talbott; her Mother, Alice D. Bundy; her father, Mark J. Bundy; and her sister Winifred Levinson.

Cremation arrangements are by Serenity Gardens, Largo, FL. Burial will be private, at a later date set by the family, at the family’s cemetery plot at Earlham Cemetery in Richmond, IN.
