Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Marcine graduated early from Ouachita Baptist University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, and then went on to achieve a Master's degree from the University of Arkansas. Marcine established her home in Anne Arundel County with her husband Gene. During their 68 years of marriage, Gene and Marcine enjoyed exploring the United States by car and were especially pleased to have visited all of the Presidential libraries as well as all 50 states.

In her more than 40-year career as a teacher, Marcine spent many years at Rippling Woods Elementary School, Marley Elementary and Ferndale Elementary, where she passionately shared her love for learning with her students. Marcine retired from teaching in 1992.

Marcine's hobbies included volunteering at schools after retiring, knitting, reading, and spending time with her family. A devout Baptist, Marcine helped to establish and build North Glen Baptist Church in Glen Burnie. She then joined Severna Park Baptist where she was a member for more than 40 years. Marcine's favorite thing about church was hearing the singing of the traditional church hymns. Marcine was passionate about music, and enjoyed playing the piano and violin.
