An accountant, she was the proprietor of “The Office” bookkeeping and tax service in St. Marys for nearly 40 years.
Her favorite pastimes included reading, fishing and solving crossword puzzles. She was proud of her Native American heritage, and spent copious amounts of time researching history and locating arrowheads for her collection. Marcella will be remembered for always being “done-up” by her hairstylist Pam – with perfect hair, makeup and nails. Her family will treasure the many memories made at her home near Grand Lake St. Marys.
Private family services will be held.
