Marcia Lynn Nye

May 21, 1958 - April 21, 2022

Marcia Lynn Nye, born in Colville, WA, fought hard against breast cancer with elegance, grace, and dignity at age 63. Surrounded by her loving children, Megan Nye and Jonathan Nye, she passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 21, 2022, in the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Roseville, California. She is survived by her daughter Megan Nye, son Jonathan Nye, son-in-law Luis Ingles and six siblings: Diana Velasquez, Linda Loveless, Virginia Hickey, Daniel Cudworth III, Angela Reynolds, and Steven Cudworth, their spouses, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and friends that she loved dearly. A dedicated educator and guidance counselor at Wilson High School in the Long Beach Unified School District from 1983-2020, she made an impact on thousands of lives. She received countless awards and acknowledgements for her hours of dedicated service to Long Beach youth and her colleagues. Retiring from Wilson High School in 2020 after 30 years of service, she moved to Sacramento, CA to be near family. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, dancing, writing, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. We miss her dearly and will keep her in our hearts, knowing she is now free to dance in her heavenly garden.
