Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Marcia Mary Sherman, passed away on June 8, 2011.
Marcia was born Marcia Pain to William and Edith Pain in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. She spent most of her youth and young adulthood in England and attended business school after graduating from high school.
After meeting Fred Sherman in England in 1945, their romance blossomed. Fred asked Marcia to join him in the USA while he attended Duke University. They were married on May 3, 1947. Her marriage to Fred lasted thirty-two years until he passed away on April 17, 1980.
Marcia resided in Atherton for forty-four years. She worked several years as a secretary for Wilson, Jones, Morton Lynch Law Firm in San Mateo.
She was an active member of "The Daughters of the British Empire", Windsor Rose Chapter in San Mateo.
We will all miss her dearly, our British "Mumsey".
She is survived by her son Stephen Sherman, daughter Kimberley Krampf, son-in-law Edward Krampf, as well as five grandchildren, Nicole, Sophia, Jesse, Zachary, and Jo, and three great-grandchildren Alison, Catherine, and Bryce.
A special thank you to the wonderful caregivers at Diablo Lodge in Danville, Tri-Valley Personal Home Care Services in Pleasanton, and Hope Hospice for the excellent care of our mother.
Friends and family are invited to attend graveside services on Friday, June 10, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. at Alta Mesa Memorial Park, 695 Arastradero Road, Palo Alto, CA.
