I worked with Miss Marcella at Hershey Chocolate. She was about getting the work done and took pride in her work. After she retired, I visited her at home in Oxford Court. She was sweet and down to earth. God Bless her

I'm grieved by the lost of such an icon as Marcella, she was a friend and "Mom" to many in the neighborhood. She was always loving and babysat many in our community of Mohn and Good St. I looked forward to seeing her at the reunions and know she will be sorely missed. I know we can all see her again if we live right and all gather in our Heavenly Home. Take joy in knowing she will have no more pain or sorrow and she is resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior!
