Marci Stenberg Memorial
Donation protected
A group of friends and family members of Marci Stenberg is raising funds to install a plaque in her memory, adjacent to a children’s splash pad in Merced.
Marci was a fixture in the Merced community as a longtime photographer for the Merced Sun-Star, where she captured the hearts of our community through her pictures. She embodied selflessness, kindness, and generosity.
Marci passed away suddenly in 2012. Last year, several friends and co-workers petitioned the City of Merced to name the splash pad at Stephen Leonard Park after Marci. The City Council unanimously approved that request, but it is up to us to purchase the plaque that will serve as a tribute to her for years to come.
We are now raising funds for that plaque and planning an unveiling ceremony and reception in Merced.
Please support this effort to honor Marci and all she did for our community with a financial contribution , either through our GoFundMe page or by check.
Your contribution will go toward the cost of the plaque, its installation and the reception. Remaining funds will go toward scholarships for graduating Merced-area high school students entering college, who are interested in photography or the visual arts.
Checks can be addressed and sent to: Marci Stenberg Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 2901, Merced, CA 95344.
Please help us create a memorial to someone who touched countless lives in our community.
Sincerely,
Friends and family of Marci Stenberg:
Victor A. Patton
Mike "Buck" Tharp
Sara Sandrik
