Macedon – June 30, 2019 at the age of 93. She was pre-deceased by her brother Edward. She is survived by her devoted husband of 53 years, Eugene and her sister Connie. She is also survived by her children, Karen (Jack) Nowlan, Bryan Fain and grand children, Colin (Lia) Fain, Mark (Aura) Fain, Elizabeth (Rob) Wetzel, Katy (Chris) Benson, Carolan (James) Kowalczyk, Mark Herrara, Monique Gomez, Eliot Fain and 7 great grand children.
Born in Las Vegas, New Mexico, she moved with her family to Los Angeles, CA at an early age, and graduated from Garfield High School. While raising her children, she worked at various jobs advancing to the positions of secretary to the director of the Monterey Park Chamber of Commerce and then to the Associated Student Body President at California State University at Los Angeles.
Marcella and Gene lived most of their lives in Southern California, embracing all that it offered. With some reluctance, they relocated to Macedon in 2010 to be close to family here.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday July 3 at 10:00 AM at The Church of the Transfiguration, 50 West Bloomfield Rd., Pittsford, NY.
My condolences go out to Gene, Karen & Jack, Brian and the rest of her family. I have very fond memories of Thanksgiving at Aunt Tiny’s house, as well as time spent at the beach. My favorite memory, however, is when she took me for my first ride in a Porsche in the early 1980s. With the top off, she pulled the 914 out of her driveway and gunned it down the hill, letting out her signature laugh as she shifted into 2nd. It was exhilarating. Rest in peace Aunt Tiny. – Jon McMahon
