About	Marci Anne Groesbeck, 19, our sweet, beautiful, and cherished daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend died August 5, 2004 in a car accident in Nine-Mile canyon near Price, Utah. She was born May 18, 1985 in Albany, New York to John Peter and Genevieve Potter Groesbeck of Taylorsville, Utah. She was the fifth of seven children. Marci will be remembered fondly for her genuine compassion, tenacious ambition, innocent and unique sense of humor, and for her genuine good nature that, even still, positively ripples through our lives, hopes and memories. On the morning of her death she had completed the final academic test required to complete her Associates Degree. She genuinely enjoyed achieving in school and loved dearly the many friends she made along the way. While at Taylorsville High School, she served on the Homecoming Committee, Key Club, Future Business Leaders of America, Student Supreme Court, Taylorsville City Peer Court, and acted as Vice Chair of Taylorsville Youth Council. She also served with her father on Community Council. She earned her Young Women Medallion. She greatly enjoyed participating in Debate, French and Swing Clubs. Marci loved music, dancing, tennis, camping, computers, travel, learning French, journal writing, and reading into the night. She was especially close to her four sisters and two brothers. She enjoyed just hanging with her family and friends. Her laughs were seemingly unstoppable, but most certainly contagious and endearing, as were her cries. She loved the vibrance of the children she taught in Sunbeam class in the Primary, and always enjoyed being near children. Most important in her life is her family, friends, and her mighty faith and love for God. It was her desire to serve a mission. Recently she wrote, "Every trial and uplifting experience defines who I am today." Comment on this story Marci leaves her parents and family: brother, Matt (Wilmington, Delaware), sister, Kathryn (SLC, UT) sister, Holly (Jared) Newbold (Logan, UT), sister, Amy (Brian) Jones (SLC, UT), brother, Michael, and sister, Kristianne Groesbeck; and her best friend, David Laban from England; grandmother, Betty Potter. Many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Funeral services will be Thursday, August 12, 2004, 12 noon, at the Riverview Ward LDS Church, 1325 West 5550 South, Taylorsville, Utah.
