Cathrine, Candyce and families, we’re so sorry for your loss, she truly was a lovely lady. She will be missed.
I only got to meet Marcella in the last years of her life . She was a lovely , gentle woman very much like her daughter . Cliff & I want to express our condolences to all of her family .
Cathy, Dan, Candyce and families. So sad to hear of Tunta’s passing. A great lady leaves us to join the others. I remember her smile and laughter. Playing as a child, with my siblings, at their house on Rabb St (I think), the hill was the best for rolling or running down. The fence at the bottom was a great asset..lol And the ducks in the basement were always fascinating and a little spooky.
Time spent at Cedar Grove Camp will always be a, good time, memory . Cedar Grove was a place where the whole family gathered to visit and enjoy the outdoors. Special times for sure. Tunta will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. We are thankful that we knew and loved her. Hugs to all of you.
I will so miss this special person. We shared many family gatherings together. Mom G had a gentle spirit, beautiful smile and a great sense of humour.
Love Julie /kids
Marcella was a wonderful Tunta. A loving and accepting family member I have many fond memories of. I enjoyed her stories of my grandmother Anna, and father Rob before I was around. And that cabbage salad! I think my sister may have finally got the recipe but it’s not quite the same. Love you Tunta! Condolences to Cathy, Candyce, Dan and the rest of the family.
Cathrine and family,
Sending condolences to all of you during this sad time. I used to enjoy hearing about your Mom Cathrine. Take Care
My heartfelt condolences to Cathy and Dan and families on the passing of Marcella (Blondie). I have many fond memories of our family visits to Cedar Grove with Keith and Beryl. She enjoyed reminiscing when Beryl and I would visit her more recently. She was a fine lady.
Some of my fondest memories were of going to Cedar Grove yearly for a week for many years with Sam and Maisie Pawley – oh the good times we had. Sam and Keith sure had a good ole time together up there. One Saturday morning I got up nice and early with Maisie to head on down to the rec hall to meet up with Marcella to watch the Royal Wedding (Di and Charles) – 7 year old me drinking tea and eating cookies with those two will never leave my thoughts. My Mother and Father both knew Candyce back in the 60’s. All the best to your family.
