We are very saddened to hear of Marcella’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you settle into a life’s rhythm without her. I will always remember her as the strong aggressive pioneer type that was never deterred. Her positive perspective, even in times of stress, was a stabilizing influence and an admiral character trait we will all miss. She, no doubt, is resting peacefully at the right hand of God. Arley and Lynda McCormick

I just found out about Aunt Marcella this morning from my brother Arley. Aunt Marcella was one of my favorite Aunts and I have many fond memories growing up of visiting her and her family on weekends and holidays. When the whole family got together there at her house it always so obvius that everyone was happy and just glad to be together. I will never forget her. She was always so kind to me.

I''m so sorry to hear cousin Marcella died. Although I didn''t see her often, when I did, I felt her strength of life, love of family & a determination that I envied. She was a true lady, religious to the end I''m sure. Her ability to recall events & family members was amazing. She was a great historian & when we talked, she was more than happy to add her entire family info to our family book. I treasured her as a cousin, admired her as a business person & was astounded at her energy level. She did enjoy a good laugh I found out more than once. As the saying goes, "When one person dies, an entire library is lost" That was Marcella. My deepest sympathy to your family as you remember only the good times you shared with her as life goes on. I would love to hear from you any time. God bless... cousin Sara B
