I loved my mother very much. She encouraged me to study piano and she drove me to the lessons. She taught me innumerable life skills and lessons, everything from cooking to gardening to becoming a fully functional adult. My mother was a caring and thoughtful person. She knew how to make Christmas and Easter very special. She made embroidered items and tablecloths for all of us. With my dad's help she raised me and my 6 siblings and it was a challenge which they met head-on. I did not always understand my mother's affinity for her church but obviously, it guided her through her life. I will miss her but I know I will be able to carry on. Thanks Mom for keeping me protected. I will always remember you.

I used to love going berry picking with Grandma. It was a favorite activity to pick raspberries. We'd race to see who could pick the most berries, or who could fill their bucket the fastest! I still like to go out every fall to pick wild berries or apples, then I freeze, can or bake my bounty into pies, just like grandma taught me!

I met Marcella about 30 years ago when I worked at Lou’s Fashions in Stettler , I had the pleasure to help her for the 15 years that I worked there . She usually called ahead to see if I was working , also dropped in, in a hurry to have an outfit for a special function ….. that she was on the way to . .. She always made me smile …. I always thought her to be a Special Lady . Rhonda van Nieuwkerk

I first met Marcella at the Assisted living,she had just quit working when I started. We did many showers and picnics and the ball tournaments that were at Talbot.I used to laugh When she would ask me something,she’d always say your a smart lady. She was a hard worker always had a beautiful garden and always got my raspberries from her. I would drive home from work and she would be a mile down the road picking up garbage. She was a great lady she will be missed.
