The family would like to thank each and every employee of Toledo Retirement and Rehabilitation Center for loving on our sister since the center became her home last December. You were her second family and there on her good and her bad days. How she loved it when you brought your children and grandchildren to visit her! Even on her last day, so many of you stuck your head in her door to check on “Mrs. Hazel”. We will be eternally grateful for your kindness to her and to her family.

Honoring Marcille as pallbearers are nephews, Guy Whitfield, Jr., Forrest Dew, Roger Dew, Jerry Dew, Joey Peshoff and Chad Peshoff.

Honorary Pallbearer: Danny Ritter What a glorious reunion was had last Friday when Marcille reached her heavenly home.
