St. John the Baptist School was so blessed to have Marcella as our School Secretary for so many years. I had the pleasure to work with Marcella for ten years. She was a caring, kind, and professional lady, and most importantly, she was a caring wife, Mother, Grandmother, and friend. Thankful for my time with her! Rest in Peace Marcella!
