PRINCIPAL EVENTS IN LIFE: Marcella started taking sewing lessons in 1931 in Medford from Mrs. Malchow, a friend of her mothers. She became a talented seamstress, sewing her own wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses for her wedding. Immediately following their marriage, they lived in the City of Medford until 1946, when they then purchased the farm Carl had worked on as a hired hand as a teenager in the Town of Browning. In 1981, they moved off the farm to their log home that they built, and Marcella lived there until the time of her death. Marcella was a great cook and loved to bake. Homemade bread, pies and cookies, especially her decorated cutout Christmas cookies were her specialty, and her family’s favorite, butterscotch pudding dessert. No gathering was complete without it. She loved to garden raising most of the family’s produce in their own garden where she would then can and freeze it. She gardened until the age of 92. Marcella will be missed for her gentle smiles, her compassion and kindness she showed to everyone, love of family, and her unending faith.
