    My name is Chris Cook and I knew and enjoyed working with Marcella, or as we fondly called her “Jac” back in the mid 1970’s at Northwoods nursing home. She, Bea Duncan, and I were great friends before drifting apart. She had a gentle, calming way with the patients. Her beautiful smile and sense of humor, as well as her laughter will always be remembered by me. I hope she passed peacefully and the Angels carried her Home. You all have my sincere condolences.
