Nouvelle triste
This morning Andy Kramek emailed me and told me of the very untimely passing of Marcia Akins.
He asked me to post the following message on his behalf:
I am sorry to tell you that Marcia died peacefully and without stress or discomfort at just after 11:00 am this morning (Sunday 12 March) in the hospital at the University of Arkansas For Medical Sciences (UAMS). She collapsed last Saturday at the airport on the way to visit her sister and was taken to hospital. She was diagnosed with Hyponatremia (low Sodium) which it appears either caused, or was caused by, severe acute hepatitis. Unfortunately she did not respond to treatment and declined suddenly and rapidly.
She didn’t suffer at all and her end was so peaceful that her friend Joanie and I, who were both with her, didn’t even realize that she had stopped breathing for several minutes.
She will, in accordance with her wishes be cremated, and we will be holding some sort of memorial for her and a wake (you know how much Marcia loved a good party) sometime in the not-too-distant future here in Hot Springs Village.
No flowers please, and if anyone wishes to make a donation in her name, her favorite charity was Disabled American Veterans.
