 Marcia Kay Bisconti, 60, of Loves Park, Illinois, passed away Wednesday, June 19, 2024 in Indianapolis, IN.

 She was born July 6, 1963 in South Bend, Indiana, the daughter of Richard Lashua and Kay Florence (Smith) Lashua.

 A long-time resident of La Porte County, Marcia graduated from La Porte High School, then went on to receive her Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from Indiana Wesleyan University. She worked in Data Retention for Howmet until her retirement in 2008. On November 22, 2008, Marcia married Robert "Bob" Bisconti and moved with him to Loves Park, Illinois, where she continued her career as the Executive Assistant for Bisconti Computers. Marcia was a devout Baptist whose faith was the driving force behind everything that she did. She was a member of both the First Baptist Church of Kingsbury, Indiana and the Fellowship Baptist Church on South Beloit, Illinois. Marcia enjoyed giving something from herself that others would love and enjoy, so she created dolls and quilts and various craft items for all of her children and grandchildren. An avid gardener, her strawberry patch produced perfect strawberries so that she could make her famous strawberry jam that everyone loved. Marcia was an enthusiastic Cubs fan and loved big family gatherings, especially birthdays and Christmas. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother who brought joy to so many through her passion in serving God and her family. She will be greatly missed by all whose life she touched.
