Local couple celebrates 60 years together

Gloria and Dick Marchick celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at a Zoom party on Friday, Dec. 18. Dick, originally from Cheyenne, Wyo., and Gloria, a St. Louis native met at Washington University, St. Louis where he was a medical student and she was getting a master's degree and teaching. In 1966 they relocated to the Bay Area where Dick practiced Obstetrics & Gynecology in Berkeley and Gloria taught and headed the ESL Program for the Acalanes Union High School District Adult Education department. Both are retired.
They have been residents of Orinda for 47 years where they reared their three children, Patti Kogan, David Marchick and Sarah Marchick. Patti and Mark Kogan live in Orinda, Sarah Marchick and Rob Hallman live in Rockridge, and David Marchick and Pam Kurland live in Washington, DC. The Marchicks have six grandchildren.
The marquee at the Orinda Theatre was lit up in honor of their anniversary and gifted by their children. In spite of COVID, the celebrating lasted two days. When asked what the secret to a long marriage is, Gloria said, "We were going to get divorced but neither of us wanted the kids so we just stuck it out!"
