Marcina was a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan and enjoyed watching NASCAR. She adored her two horses and liked riding as well. She was a member of Crossroads Church and was very devoted to her faith. She was involved with church groups and Bible study. She and her husband, Ivan, enjoyed traveling together. She was an extremely caring person and absolutely adored her grandchildren.

One of her favorite sayings was, "I like to walk with grandma her steps are short like mine. She doesn't say "hurry up" she always takers her time. Most people have to hurry, they don't stop to see. I'm glad that God made grandma unrushed and young like me". She is also survived by her sister, Martha McCartney; numerous nieces and nephews; many cousins; and her faithful companion, her dog, Clyde. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ivan Sloboda, on October 20, 2006.
