Marcia Huls' Obituary
In Loving Memory of Marcia Mae Huls
With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we bid farewell to a remarkable woman, Marcia Huls, who touched the lives of many as a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, great aunt, cousin, and friend. She gracefully embraced every role with unwavering love, generosity, and thoughtfulness, leaving an indelible mark on all those she encountered.
Marcia was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, October 31, 1934 and passed away in Escondido, California June 15, 2023. She was 88.
Elegance and style were her trademarks, as she effortlessly carried herself with class and grace. Whether it was in her impeccable appearance or her warm interactions with others, she exuded a timeless charm that left everyone she met feeling uplifted and cherished. Marcia also had a beautiful gift for music, showcasing her talent as a pianist, organist, and vocalist with a melodious voice filling hearts with sweet melodies during Sunday service.
Her dedication and love for cooking and baking became a reflection of love for her family, especially Richard. She loved making homemade desserts and pies were her specialty, and she was an exceptional cook. During the summer months, she canned fresh green beans, beets, tomatoes, pickles, and froze strawberry jam, fresh from the garden.
Beyond her own pursuits, including her passion for teaching third grade, Marcia devotedly stood by her husband, Richard Huls' side as a dedicated pastor's wife, offering unwavering support and love to their congregation. She was a devoted Christian who served the Lord. Marcia married Richard in Holland, Michigan in 1957. Since moving to San Diego in 1958 and Escondido in 1962, her kindness and compassion knew no bounds, and she was a pillar of strength for those seeking comfort and guidance all of these years.
As a mother of 5, Matthew (wife Danyel), Michael, Tanya Huls Hunsinger (husband Michael), Lisa Huls Young, and Mark (wife Amber), grandmother of 6 and great grandmother of 7, she nurtured her family with boundless affection, creating a loving and nurturing home where everyone felt welcomed and valued. Her legacy lives on through the generations she leaves behind, as her teachings and grace continue to shape their lives.
Though she may no longer walk among us, her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched. As we say our goodbyes, we celebrate a life well-lived, a life that touched others with God's love, kindness, and generosity. She was a loving and compassionate woman, who will be missed by all who knew her. May she rest peacefully with our Lord.
A service will be held on August 18 at Emmanuel Faith Community Church in Escondido, CA. at 11:00 AM. with a reception following.
