MARCIA SAPP AGNER

In His infinite mercy, Our Lord and Savior, called His servant, Marcia Sapp Agner, home, in the early morning hours of 22 December 2025, following a battle with an aggressive cancer. She died at Bonifay Memorial Hospital. Throughout her life, Marcia was the epitome of kindness, giving of herself and anything she had, to any in need. She valued her Faith, her family and friends.

Born 24 April 1944, she was the elder of two daughters born to Alexander Douglas Sapp and Lottie Lee Elliott Sapp of Vernon, FL, both of whom preceded her in death, as well as the younger sister, Patricia Sapp Stanton Dufresne in 2020. Ms. Agner is survived by a son, James Barrett Braxton (Paula Stricklen); her longtime companion, Larry Dannelly; two nephews, and their families, including a great-nephew and four great-nieces; several cousins, and surviving family members to whom she remained close all of her life. From her varied life’s experiences, Marcia made friends, and made family of her friends and acquaintances. She was close to Mr. Dannelly’s family, both in FL and NC, where Marcia had family as well.

A 1962 graduate of Vernon HS, Marcia attended Brevard College and Chipola JR College. She earned a BA in Communications Arts in 1970 at the University of West Florida, where she enjoyed a position as Feature Editor for the campus newspaper. She worked for the FLA Department of Commerce in Lake City, as an Economic Development Representative from 1974-78. Ms. Agner created and trained the first FLA Community Economic Development Teams in Palatka and St. Augustine. She assisted 19 counties across NE FL developing Economic Programs. In her career, she continued as Government and Industrial Representative, first at 3M (1978-79), and then for Honeywell in Atlanta, (1979-80).

She enjoyed traveling very much and was always up for a visit with family, friends, and family she made of her friends, where she lived and in surrounding areas, and from her travels. She was interested in decorating, creating a comfortable and beautiful home, and openings its doors to others. Marcia was fond of antiques and period pieces, and collected blue and white, some chinoisserie, and linens. She held dear the things from family, including photographs, and as the years passed became the sole source of information. Her curiosity was piqued by genealogy, and she followed the lines of the Sapps and the Whites, and others, from Vernon, FL, where she lived, grew up, and came back to call ‘home.’

As long as she was physically able, she traveled and spent time with her remaining family, and faithful friends, and spoke often of her wonderful experiences. She was thoroughly modern Marcia, sharing spiritual memes on her facebook account(s), and responding to texts from everywhere they came. She was a fan of all things Downton Abbey. Born in 1944, Marcia was of the era of ladies in hats, in stockings, in dress shoes. Many considered her one of those quintessential Southern ladies, and she was proud of always looking, and being her best. Ms. Agner was beautiful, inside and out.

That Marcia was loved is evident by the care and support she received from her Church Family at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Chipley. A Celebration of the Life of Marcia Sapp Agner is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday, 9 January 2026, at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church on West Boulevard in Chipley, with Father Robert Ott, officiating. A reception is scheduled, following the Service, at The Sullivan House on Church Avenue. She will be laid to rest beside her parents, and with Sapp Family, at the Vernon Cemetery in Vernon, FL, following the reception.

Doug was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His kind heart, generous spirit, and unforgettable sense of humor—he was truly the biggest goofball—brought joy wherever he went.

Doug proudly retired after 23 and a half years of dedicated service at Holmes Correctional Institution. Even in retirement, his heart for others never wavered. He continued to volunteer at the Holmes CI Work Camp through the prison ministry, offering encouragement, compassion, and faith to those who needed it most.

From 2000 until his passing, Doug was a trained PADI scuba diver who embraced every opportunity for adventure beneath the surface. He was deeply committed to the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association, faithfully logging over 100,000 miles in support of veterans and their mission.

Doug was a faithful member of Spirit of Life Church and also a proud supporter and member of the HSMM, Heaven Saints Motorcycle Ministry. His devotion to his faith and his biker community was an important part of his life and service to others.

Every Wednesday morning, Doug could be found at the Men’s Emmaus Meeting at First Presbyterian Church in Chipley, Florida. He was also an alumnus of the BWE No. 59 Emmaus Walk, a meaningful milestone in his spiritual journey.

Doug will be forever remembered for many things, but perhaps nothing more uniquely than the unmistakable sound of the “TRAIN HORNS” on his Harley. They were a reflection of his fun-loving nature and the joy he brought into the world.

Above all, Doug was a man of kindness, faith, and laughter—someone who made life better simply by being in it. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched.

A celebration of life will be held at the Chipley Hellfighters clubhouse at 1:30 PM Sunday, December 7, 2025. Memorialization was by cremation with Peel Funeral Home and Bonifay Crematory in charge of arrangements.
