Obituary
Veronica “Mickey” Marcum passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 24, 2018, two weeks shy of her 95th birthday. What she will be most remembered for is her sparkling personality. All who knew her say, “She was the most fun”. The second characteristic for which she will be remembered is her Irish Catholic Heritage. She was a Registered Nurse (RN) who served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. After the war, she married and dedicated her time to family. Mickey kept her RN license current for twenty-five years, eventually working at Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. She remained at Methodist Hospital until she retired in 1993 at age 70. In retirement, she volunteered at MD Anderson Medical Center for another twenty years. Her RN license was still active at the time of her death. She was most proud of her children; Erin Marcum Wall (son Toby Marcum Wall), Candy Marcum and Pamela Marcum. Mickey is survived by Candy (spouse Carolyn Hall), Pamela (Spouse Bill Crowden) and her grandson, Toby Marcum Wall (Spouse Kate Wall). She is also survived by her older sister, Oona Kitowski and her nieces, Colleen Kitowski, Shannon Brumfield, Kaki Davies and nephew Fred Brumfield.
Private Family Burial will be in March at the family plot in San Antonio, Texas.

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

My good neighbor and friend. I have many good memories of her. May God grant her family and loved ones comfort and peace. Jane Jones
All, I am so, so sorry to hear about Mickey. Now only Mom and Judy are left from the original Dayton Road group. The obituary says she was surrounded by family and I am so glad about that. She loved you more than I can even express. I will be thinking about you and holding every good thought. Glynna
