Jan. 19, 1949 — March 18, 2018

Marcia Marie Gillow, 69, of Edwardsburg, died peacefully Sunday morning, March 18, 2018, in the Center for Hospice Care in South Bend.

She was born Jan. 19, 1949, in Flint, Michigan, to Harold and Nina Pudvay.

Marcia was all heart and could talk to anyone. She loved her animals. She loved to garden, to read, and could – and did – cook anything at any time for anybody. Marcia was very detailed oriented, keeping a meticulous diary, and writing down everything that happened every single day. Everyone she met was a friend.

Marcia will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by one son, Eric Millbaugh of Maine; one granddaughter, Kenzie Gillow; two grandsons, Hawk Gillow, Tucker Gillow; her mother, Nina Pudvay of Edwardsburg; one sister and brother in law, Coral and Tom VanBuren of Decatur; one brother in law, Harley Smith of Suttons Bay; numerous nieces and nephews; family of the heart, Nick and Sharon Nickoson of Edwardsburg, Jen (Jereme Sharp) Robinson of Cassopolis, Ruth Johnson and Don Henley, both of Edwardsburg; and too many friends to even begin to mention.

In addition to her husband, David M. Gillow, Marcia was preceded in death by her father; two sons, Kelly Millbaugh, Ari Gillow, one sister, Bonnie Smith and her brother, Ted Pudvay.

The family will observe a private remembrance.
