Marcella taught each Sister Warrior by her example of courage, faith and humor. What a generous heart she had! We'll miss her and will not forget what we learned from her journey.

As a fellow Sister Warrior, I always looked forward to Marcella's feisty, matter-of-fact attitude toward her illness. She was an inspiration to us all and, regardless of how she was feeling, never hesitated to put others first. She will be missed, but I find peace in knowing that her suffering is over and she's embarking on the next leg of her journey with her Lord.

I was a neighbor of Marcy's I knew her when we were five years old,,until I moved away and got married,she always had a very happy disposition.

I met Marcy & her father, George through a relative. I remember them sharing their travel experiences and photos with Margaret. I kept in touch with them through the years. After Marcy's father passed away, she would come to our home & we would share our travel experiences & photos. She would sit for hours looking at pictures on the computer as we explained their significance. She would come out late morning & return home late evening. I will always remember the sparkle in her eyes and a smile she so freely gave!

I feel so honored to have gotten to know Marcella a bit the past few years through the Sister Warriors group. It was so inspiring to see her love for each of us and the group propel her to join us for meetings even when she wasn't feeling the best. We will miss her dearly. My deepest sympathies to the family and her many other friends.

I hadn't seen Marcella in a few years because I hadn't attended Sister Warrior meetings in a while, but I remember her positive attitude. That attitude was a big help to all other Sister Warriors, whether they were new to the group or not. May Marcella rest in peace. My prayers are with the family.

I am so blessed to have known Marcella. She had gone through so much but still kept a smile on her face. I enjoyed her company during our drive to Sister Warrior meetings. I am truly going to miss her. Our meetings will not be the same without her smile

Marcella was a long time member of the St. Catherine of Alexandria faith community and the Cancer Support Group. I enjoyed getting to know her and her upbeat nature and bright smile in both places and will miss not having her with us. My deepest sympathies to her family.
