Marcia Ann Tyler

Marcia Ann Tyler was born on November 13, 1937 to Ralph and Hallie Mathews of Brownwood, TX. Home for break from college one summer, good friends introduced her to her late husband of 59 years, Joe Tyler. Marcia graduated from high school at 16, and received her Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University. She taught 3rd grade elementary classes for many years in Duncanville and then in Midlothian, TX. After she achieved her Master of Arts in Library Science from the University of North Texas, she was promoted to Librarian of all elementary schools in Midlothian, where she retired. Marcia touched numerous lives as a teacher and librarian, and is known by many as having an empathetic and kind heart, along with an adventurous spirit. She loved reading, traveling, attending live musical theater performances, playing Bridge for many years with a group of teacher friends and was a proud member of the DAR for over 50 years, but what she loved most of all was spending time with her family. Marcia was a wonderful mother of three, an amazing grandmother of two, and later a great-grandmother to three children. She was so proud of her family and relished in traveling with her grown children and grandchildren. She made holidays a special time to bring everyone together, and she loved that her family lived close by to share dinners together, a trip to a movie, or a family game night. Marcia entered God's Kingdom on November 16, 2018, surrounded by a family who loved her dearly. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe, son, Michael, brother, Joseph, father, Ralph and mother, Hallie. Marcia will be sorely missed, but we will all reunite in God's Kingdom. Survivors include children, Keith Allen Tyler and Nicky Holland and Valerie Tyler Hindman and husband, Curtis, grandchildren, Bridgette Hindman Leonard and husband, Richard and Tyler Dane Hindman and great-grandchildren, Noah, Reed and Ryanne.
