Marcia Schlotman

Marcia Schlotman, a devoted Christian, loving mother and grandmother, dedicated nurse midwife, and proud member of the Wellington community, peacefully passed away surrounded by love on Saturday, February 17, 2024. Her legacy is one of compassion, service, and faith.

Born and raised in Wellington, Marcia was a shining example of grace and integrity. After graduating from Wellington High School in 1968, she attended Missouri University for her Nursing Undergrad and was a proud member of Marching Mizzou.  Following that, she earned her Master’s Degree in Midwifery from Yale University.  Alongside her husband Terry, she felt the call to serve her country and joined the United States Air Force. At the completion of her military service, she embarked on a remarkable career as a Nurse Midwife, dedicating an incredible 50 years to bringing over a thousand precious lives into this world. Her commitment to her patients went beyond medical care; she saw her work as a divine calling from God, educating women about their healthcare needs and providing comfort and support during one of life’s most profound experiences.

Marcia’s faith was central to her life, and she was a faithful member of the Lexington Restoration Branch. Her kindness and generosity touched the lives of all who knew her, and her love for her family was unwavering. She is now joyfully reunited with her beloved husband of 47 years, Terry Schlotman, in the embrace of heaven.  In addition to her husband, Marcia was preceded in death by her parents Wilbert and Esther Fahrmeier and her brother Bruce Fahrmeier.

Marcia leaves behind a legacy of love and service. She is survived by her daughter Kourtney Michael, her husband Richard, and their children Andrew, Matthew, and Rebekah; her son Kevin Schlotman, his wife Erica, and their children Michael, Marley, and Monroe; her son Keith Schlotman, his partner Melissa, his ex-wife Katie, his children Adellyn and Chance, and his step-son Blake; and her son Kyle Schlotman and his children Brooklynn and Maddux. She is also survived by her siblings Myrnell Kolster, Melody Kemp, Michele Tipton, and Chet Fahrmeier.

Marcia’s final wish was for a Celebration of Life when the warmth of summer fills the air and the flowers are in bloom. Family and friends are invited to gather on Saturday, July 20th, at the Lexington Restoration Branch to honor and remember her extraordinary life. Details for her service and celebration will be shared closer to the date.  Memoriam offerings can be made to her two favorite charities Love Over Circumstances and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.  Marcia’s spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
