Marcia Hrdlicka, a woman of unwavering strength, passed away peacefully on October 16, 2025. Born in 1936 in St. Louis Missouri, Marcia carved her own path in this world, one marked by resilience and determination.
She was the beloved wife of Donald Hrdlicka, who preceded her in death in 1996, and together they built a life rooted in love and commitment. She was a proud mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She is survived by her four children: Lynn Cline (Michael), Mark Hrdlicka (Lisa), Beth Hrdlicka and Paul Hrdlicka. She was a devoted grandmother to Madison, Ashley, Abby, Megan, Alivia and Jake, and a cherished great-grandmother to Anderson, Emery, Jonah, Brielle, Rowan and Nora.
A dedicated nurse for many years, Marcia’s care extended far beyond her family. She touched countless lives with her tireless work ethic and quiet strength. Her love for baseball was more than a pastime, but a life-long passion.
Marcia will be remembered as a woman who stood tall in the face of adversity and worked hard for everything she had. Her legacy is one of courage and quiet devotion.
She leaves behind a family who will miss her deeply but carry her spirit forward with pride and gratitude.

Aunt Marcia was a key fixture in my childhood and I have many fond (and humorous!) memories of her. Am very grateful I got so visit with her in recent months and I’ll forever cherish those moments. She will always have a place in my heart and will be dearly missed.
So sorry for the loss to the Hrdlicka family. I only know Paul, but there’s no doubt in my mind that his family is as caring and loving as he is! I would have loved to have met Marcia! She sounded like a pistol of a woman and would have been such a blast to be around! Loss is always so hard , but we know she is free of pain and now living the life with her Savior. Keep your memories close and know y’all will be together again one day.
Paul,
We are sorry to hear about your Mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It sounds like she was a great lady and will be missed by all who knew her.
