I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Marcella's passing. I remember some fun times when we were all a lot younger. - Posted by: Donna Welch (Niece) on: Jul 24, 2013

My sincere condolences to Dawn and all of Marcella's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My tracing of family history brought me close to Marcella and her family and I appreciate her contribution to that history. - Posted by: Arnold McAulay (cousin) on: Jul 11, 2013

My wife and I were neighbors with Marcella, and later Dawn and Ron for about two years. Marcella was the greatest neighbor anyone could ask for, always stopping to talk, watching out for us, offering us vegetables from her garden and filling our dog up on milk bones when he would sneak over the fence and beg at her back door. You brightened our days on Elgin, Marcella. Rest in peace and rest assured you will always be in our thoughts. - Posted by: Zack (Neighbor) on: Jul 10, 2013

Marcella will be deeply missed for her great sense of humor, her laughter and her generosity and love she had for others she cared for. See U in heaven Grannie - Posted by: Vern Smith (Friend) on: Jul 10, 2013
