Marcia Oliver Hammock, 72, of Chestnut Mountain, passed away on Monday, March 6, 2023, at Emory University Hospital following an extended illness.

She was born on November 15, 1950, to the late William Newton and Mary Curtis Mundy Oliver. She grew up singing, and during college she was a member of the Mercer University Concert Choir.
