With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Marcia Doran of Overland Park, Kansas, on November 4, 2026, at the age of 71.

Marcia was born on October 5, 1955, in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Mary Louise Doran, and her brother, Sean Doran.

Marcia found happiness in life's simple pleasures, and she especially cherished time spent with her family. She enjoyed dining out, with Mexican food being a particular favorite.
