Ms Asantewa added: "Marcia was a powerhouse, a positive influence in my life and the lives of the many people she knew and loved.
"She taught us how to be independent and pursue your goals, even if no-one believed in you or them; how to enjoy life and connect with people from all walks of life.
"No-one expected this loss; this emptiness, but Marcia would want us to go on, to keep each other close and have a cheeky drink to celebrate a life cut short, but a life full of love and joy, when we can once again meet each other."
The family has requested donations to the British Heart Foundation in her memory.
