(Dawn & Kenny Kent’s children, Christa and Joshua Kent, and Emily Shaw’s
son, Elijah Gant). Mark and Elizabeth
Merrill’s children (Marcella’s grandchildren), Rebecca, Cole, Andrew, and
Violet were also survived by her. Our

Marcella was loved by all and will leave many cherished

generous woman who was graced by God to find peace at home alongside her
family.
