Marcia Crowley Price

Marcia Crowley Price, age 78, died peacefully at home with family on January 20, 2019.  She was born May 9, 1940 in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Atlanta by parents John J. and Elizabeth Crowley.

In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her sister, Audrey Crowley Hancock.

While in high school at Christ the King HS in Atlanta she met her future husband, John P. (Jack) Price, Jr., at a Georgia Tech fraternity event. They were married in 1959 and would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in May.

Marcia was a Pre- K teacher, talented artist, devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to everyone she met. She played a mean game of ALTA tennis and was a devoted Yellow Jacket fan.

Her courageous ten year battle with ovarian cancer introduced her to others on a cancer journey and an opportunity to be a supportive and much-loved companion. A natural leader, her generosity of spirit was infectious and effective.  In Atlanta, Stone Mountain, Gainesville, and Highlands NC she was widely known and admired.

Survivors include her husband, daughters and sons in law Mary Catherine (Cathy) Price Carson (John), Lawrenceville; Ann Marie Price Young, Greenville SC; Judith Emily (Judy) Price Hendrix (Steve), Lilburn; and Audrey Patricia (Tricia) Price Floyd (Gary), Hoschton; grandchildren, Haley Bond (Justin), Cameron Carson, Mallory Hendrix, Alex Hendrix, Sean Floyd, and Samantha Floyd.

A Celebration of Life Mass is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 26, 2019 at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Cleveland, GA with internment immediately after in the Church Columbarium.  A reception will follow in the Parish Hall.

Family requests that flowers be omitted and donations made to the St. Paul’s Church Building Fund or to The Georgia Tech Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research, 760 Spring Street, NW Suite 400, Atlanta, GA 30308.
