Marcia E. Feener, 82, of Franklin, NH, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2023.

Marcia was born on May 3, 1941 in Gloucester, MA, graduating from Gloucester High School in 1959. She received her bachelors and masters degrees in education from the University of Massachusetts Amherst where she was a member of Chi Omega Fraternity. In 1963 she married her high school sweetheart, Russell F. Feener.

Marcia and Russ raised their family in Acton, MA and were active members of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sudbury, MA. In 1972 they purchased a summer cottage on Webster Lake in Franklin, NH, and thoroughly enjoyed lake life with family and friends. In 1998 Russ retired and they moved to Franklin full time.

In 1977 Marcia started her business, Feener Associates, using training materials to help employees improve themselves, work better in teams and deliver top-notch customer service.  She was very successful, winning many awards and contracts with name-brand companies. She particularly enjoyed the mentoring aspect of her business, and made many good friends as they worked together towards shared goals. She sold her business in 2015.

Russ and Marcia were founding members of the Winnipesaukee River Trail Association, and an integral part of the Trestle View Park trailhead in downtown Franklin. Marcia was a member of the Franklin Business and Professional Women, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and a board member of the Webster Lake Association.

Marcia loved the lake, her garden, her friends, her community, and her family.

Marcia was predeceased by her beloved husband, Russ, and her parents, Aili and Harold Mallette Sr. She is survived by her two daughters, Heidi (Peter) Cox of Charlotte, NC and Suzanne (Rob) Johnston of Southlake, TX; her grandchildren, Trotman Johnston of Southlake, TX, Brianna Cox of Charlotte, NC, Andre Cox of Charlotte, NC and R. Beckett Johnston of Southlake, TX; and her brother Harold Mallette Jr. of Rockport, MA.
