Marcella B.

(nee Hanson)
Born Feb. 10, 1922 in Clarkfield, MN

Went to the Lord October 4, 2017. Preceded in death by husband, Allen and daughter, Jeanne Lyner. Marcella met Allen at Northern Pump during WWII. They married in 1945 and raised 3 children in a seemingly idyllic post- war neighborhood in Richfield MN. She was an amazing mother, marvelous cook, gifted seamstress and knitter, and kept a very clean home. Marcella was a model of compassion, courage and love. She always had a cup of coffee ready and time to talk when friends stopped by. Survived by daughter, Judy Kastelle; son, Jerry (Joan); grandchildren , Drew (Kat) King, Anne (Matt) Gardner, Amy (Ben) Moore, Aric, Alex, Kirsten (Jamie) Turner, Joshua (Tiffany) Kastelle, Chris (Amy) Lyner, Tim Lyner, Cameron Groh; 15 great-grandchildren; sister, Lois Waller. Mike and Nancy Lyner provided greatly appreciated loving support to their Mother-in-Law as her vision and hearing failed. A gathering will be held Tuesday October 17, 2017 from 2-6 with a time of sharing at 3PM at Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 2800 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN. Memorials preferred to Low Vision Resources.
