💨 Abstract

Marcie Jones, the pioneering Australian singer from the 1960s girl group Marcie & The Cookies, passed away at 79 on May 31, 2025, days after revealing her leukemia diagnosis. Known for her dynamic stage presence and hits like "I Would If I Could," Jones was celebrated for breaking barriers in Australia's male-dominated music scene. Her daughter-in-law, Lisa Asta, remembered her as a guiding light.
