Marcia Diane Hamm

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Marcia Diane Hamm, beloved mother and cherished friend, who peacefully departed this world on June 23, 2026, at the age of 86. Born on October 7, 1939, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Marcia lived a life filled with compassion, warmth, and unyielding love for her family and community.

Marcia graduated from Grand Rapids Catholic Central and dedicated herself to nurturing the next generation through her self-employed daycare. Many children were fortunate to be touched by her kindness, and she formed lasting bonds with those she cared for, forever holding a special place in their hearts.

A devout member of St. Mary's Church in Grand Rapids, Marcia actively contributed to her parish community by volunteering at the Food Pantry, participating in the Church Festival, and aiding the Sewing Sisters at Marywood. Her generous spirit and willingness to help others were hallmarks of her life.

Marcia leaves behind a legacy of love, embodied in her daughters, Jennifer Cooper (Gary) and Amy DeVoogd (Randy). She was a proud grandmother to Madison Ball, Megan Ball, Nick McNamara, and enjoyed her role as great grandmother to Bohdi Falicki, who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews, along with numerous great nieces and nephews, all of whom will cherish her memory.

Marcia was preceded in death by her husband Terry W. Hamm and her parents Raymond and Bernice Myszka (Mojzuk), brothers Vince and Mike Myszka, sister Virginia McGraw, her sister Ann Myszka, her sister Rita Balczak (Champion) brother-in-laws Art Champion, Dick McGraw, Ron Balczak and sister-in-laws LaVern Myszka, and Therese "Terry" Myszka.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the St. Mary's Church Food Pantry, an organization close to Marcia's heart, as a way to honor her commitment to helping those in need.

Marcia Diane Hamm will be deeply missed, yet her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched.
