Growing up Emily had 2 dogs that were part of the family.

Emily and Marcia were best friends and Emily was raised in South Windsor attending the local public schools. There are several pictures of Emily throughout Marcia's site and many more to come.  Here is a picture taken by Marcia of the love of her life daughter Emily at the beginning of 1985

Marcia and Richard were married on June 30th, 2004 after dating for 10 years and we have a bunch of our favorite memories to share with all our family and friends.  We hope you will enjoy these brief moments of our best memories.

Although Marcia graduated from UCONN she had a great start into college at SU.  She had shared several stories about that experience and, according to her husband Richard, ironically from Syracuse but living in Cambridge, ma, at the time "Marcia mostly didn't like the dreary Syracuse weather" was the reason he heard from Marcia for leaving Syracuse.

Marcia here is the front row - first on the left.  I have to get a better picture layout or zoom this one

Marcia in her early 20s was headed for a wonderful career. Not enough can be said about the young lady aspiring to a savvy business career.

This was around the time that Marcia met her future Husband Richard.  She drove to Burlington Vermont with Emily a few weeks after these pictures were taken to meet Richard after over 100 hours on the phone prior to their first get togeher.  Emily met Richie and Sara Hooker like a Brady bunch style or so the parents had hoped.

Marcia Campbell became Marcia C. Hooker on June 30th 2004 In Las Vegas NV.  This is a dinner picture of Marcia taken by Richard.  We were at the top of our world.

Marcia was born to the late Professor R. Gordon Campbell and survived by her loving mother, Hilda (Barnhouse) Campbell on November 18, 1952 in Ithaca, NY. Marcia grew up in Manchester CT attending Illing Jr. High and Manchester High School, graduating from MHS in 1970  and after her first semester at SU moved to receive her BA in Psychology at the University of Connecticut in 1974.  Her certificates also include LOMA 1-5, ACS, CLU 301, 302, AALU I and HIAA.  Marcia married the love of her life, Richard Hooker, on June 30, 2004 in Las Vegas, NV.  Marcia was an impressive business executive, and recently was VP of Life Underwriting at the Lincoln Financial Group, Sun Life, TNE, Principal Financial Group and former director at Phoenix Home Life with an impressive approval amount of 20, 000,000, once approving the underwriting of folks such as Jack Cousteau and Lloyd Bridges.  She began her career and was promoted to Director at Connecticut Mutual right out of college from 1979-1989. Marcia was an amazing home-maker; her recent great passion was designing her new home here in Milford, Ma and filling it with love; before that she had designed her new home in Erie, PA and worked at home as a remote Life Underwriter (Principal Financial) while her husband was a systems architect at GE Transportation.  Recently, when she and her husband decided to move back to New England, she worked out of their home in Milford as a contract remote life Underwriter.  She loved her Boston Celtics and Bruins, sitting up close and loved travelling, going on cruises, collecting many treasures along the way. She was very outgoing and adventurous with outgoings several times a year to places such as Old Orchard Beach, Mystic River, NY State Fair, and one of her favorites, her parents' beach house in Misquamicut RI.  She enjoyed many cruises around the world with her husband Richard and hundreds of local trips to Bruins and Celtic's games with dinner at Four's restaurant across the street :) She is survived by her adoring Husband Richard A. Hooker, daughter Emily Grenier, of Connecticut whom she raised in South Winsdor, CT, her 3 step grandchildren, whom she helped raise, her step-son Richard Hooker Jr. of Milford, MA, whom she helped raise since a child, a brother Scott Campbell of Misquamicut RI and a neice Kimberly Campbell and 2 nephews Ray and Steven Campbell as well as several cousins and by everyone who knew her.
