Marcia Wetherbee was born in 1944, and grew up in Bexley, Ohio. She attended Eastern New Mexico University, and relocated to Massachusetts where she lived until her passing in 2019. As owner of “The Meeting Place,” a coffee shop in Bay Village, Massachusetts, she served her neighborhood as a host, member of the Neighborhood Association, political activist, and volunteer. Marcia loved children and was a fierce advocate for the most vulnerable, and after decades at “The Meeting Place,” she went to work for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as an Adoption Social Worker until her retirement. Throughout her life, she organized, entertained, and developed rich communities of friends. When Marcia arrived for a visit, everyone knew the party was about to begin!
