Marcella had a love for her church, the Baker Street Church of God. She was a great prayer warrior.

She was a release time education teacher for Union School district for seven years. Marcella would babysit and do housework for friends. She enjoyed playing cards, word search and having meals at the Korner Restaurant. Her greatest joy came knowing her six children have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
