MARCELLA JONES
July 2, 1956 ~ June 9, 2020 (age 63)

Marcella also liked to sew. She made thoughtful quilts for her husband, daughters, and grandsons over the past few years.

Marcella was a strong believer in God. Even when she was ill, you could find her in her pew at church and she did her best to help when she could. She was truly a woman of perseverance and faith. She was a great mom and loving wife. She was an awesome grandma and papa to her grandchildren.
