Marcia Lynne Hunt (Marchese), a passionate activist, dedicated educator, loving mother and loyal friend, passed away unexpectedly April 11, 2013 at the age of 72. A long-time San Francisco resident, and recent transplant to the Sacramento area, Marcia was a formidable woman who knew her mind and wasn’t afraid to share her opinion in any situation. A feminist who empowered others to find their inner strength, she sparkled in a crowd as she drew one in with her quick wit, sharp intellect and dazzling smile. A voracious traveler with an eye for the adventurous in both cuisine and locale, she grabbed onto life with a gusto that few possess but all will remember.
She is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Jay B. Hunt, her brother David Marchese, her children David and Deborah Hunt and her two grandsons, Hunter and Tyler who loved their Nana beyond words and wish she could have played with them longer.
Memorial services are currently being planned. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be sent to the Indiana University Foundation for the Frank & Carolyn Marchese and Donna Bye Hunt Scholarships at PO Box 500 | Bloomington, IN. 47402 or a charity of your choice.
To our wife, lover, mother, friend - you will be missed but remembered always in our hearts and minds.

I never realized how much Marcia( or as I had known her Ms. Marchese
teacher at Ridgefield High School during the 60's)influenced my life. I later became an English teacher, then an administrator finally retiring this year after 45 years in education. I married a man from Bridgeport and went to college in Bridgeport. I was and still am very out spoken and always speak the truth. I guess that is what I really respected from Marcia especially at Ridgefield High where there where so many fake people there who didn't have the courage to speak the truth. Marcia did and made you feel good about yourself at I did. I walked away from her class with confidence while the boys were all acting sophomorically I could still feel in charge. I only wish I knew her longer when she lived in Ridgefield. We never left the area. The other strange thing is that she died on my sister's birthday a day I wont forget. So in a way she left a little legacy to me which I never was aware of until I read about her life and remembered those days in her class when she always be ready to tell me the truth. step up to the plate and get the job done. How fortunate her family was to have her for such a short time. I never realized that she was only six years older than I was when I was in high school. She was the epitome of sophistication certainly not like our Italian moms back then; such a great role model. Believe it or not Marcia and my second teacher are the reason why I became a teacher. I only hope I have made an impression on someone during my time. Thank you for sharing
Sincerely
