Burial followed in Hopewell Church Cemetery in Foxworth. Bro. Wayne Rice officiated at the services with family remarks from Melinda, Chase and Christian Robbins and Michael Bradshaw.

Born on June 27, 1955, she faced challenges early in life after battling and surviving encephalitis and meningitis as a small child. Despite these adversities, she displayed remarkable kindness, had a vibrant personality and radiated boundless joy.
Throughout her life, she enjoyed socializing, keeping up with her favorite television shows and spending quality time with her family, particularly with her lifelong caretaker, friend and mother, Marvel Ann. She was a lifelong member of Hopewell United Methodist Church near her home in Cheraw. After Marvel Ann's passing, she moved to The Grove in Columbia, where she continued to make meaningful connections and positively impact those around her. The relationships she formed with both residents and staff were countless, and her family is sure that her time there will be remembered fondly for years to come.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Marvel Ann; grandparents, Ned and Mollie Bedwell Regan and Howard and Emma Stephens Robbins.
Survivors include her father, Charles L. Robbins; sister, Melinda Robbins (Charles Ray); two nephews, Chase Robbins (Kristen) and Christian Robbins (Corley); multiple close cousins and family members, including Debbie Bedwell; several close friends, including Rose Thompson, Rhonda Gibson and Lecretia Green; and numerous friends, both staff and residents, at The Grove, whom she loved dearly.
The family expresses abundant gratitude to Michael Bradshaw and The Grove team for their unwavering care and for providing Marcy with a supportive community where she could thrive and, in her own words, "live her own life" every day.
