Marcella worked at Rexnord as a supervisor until her retirement when she moved back up north. Some of her favorite pastimes included baking, cooking, feeding people, listening to country music and polkas, watching the Bachelor and raising and caring for her dogs. She also loved hunting and the stories that came with it, especially waiting to hear what they saw, what they missed or the details of tracking. Marcella always enjoyed decorating for the seasons and took great pride in her appearance, always looking her best when she went out. Above all things she cherished the times with her grandchildren and always looked forward to having them come up and visit.

Survivors include her daughter, Pam (Dean) Mancl, Medford; three grandchildren, Tabetha (Joe) Schultz, Germantown, Chad (Jaclyn Johnson) Waukesa and Maranda Mancl, Grafton; nine great-grandchildren, Harrison Joe Mancl, Logan Robert Mancl, Camryn Olivia Mancl, Emerson Grace Mancl, Erica Faith Schultz, William Dean Schultz, David Joseph Schultz, Andrew Lonnie Schultz and Charles Leon Schultz; one brother, Donald (Marlene) Westfall, Athens; and many nieces; and nephews.

Besides her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Lonnie; her siblings, Marvin, Gordon, Harold, Rick and Kenneth; and her sisters, Clara Henning, LaVerna Kramm, Myrtle Ninmerguth, Lucinda Nehrbass and Iris Schreiner.
