Marcelle was a home maker and was affectionately called "Granma" by everyone. She was truly everyone's grandmother or "Ma-Ma". To know her was to Love her. If you needed a meal, or a place to stay she was there. Always with a smile on her face and ready for a laugh or cause one. Our peace maker and confidante; she could be trusted with any and everything from money to secrets. Granma was resourceful and knew how to make the best out of a bad situation; something wonderful with limited resources. Her strength and resourcefulness were to be admired. She was truly a Proverbs 31 woman who always had an encouraging word to share and a bible verse to support it. Her favorite verse to share was Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still", knowing her and the way she lived, we are confident that the LORD took on all her battles! Marcelle was preceded in death by her eldest son Jacques Lamothe and her husband of 70 years.
