Nous sommes tous très peinés par le départ de Marcelle pour ce nouveau monde, après cette belle vie au service des autres.Nous saluons son courage que vous avez si bien décrit à travers tous vos témoignages.Je l'ai connue alors que j'étais petite fille et je reconnais bien son visage sur cette photo.Comme elle, Papa me parle beaucoup de "Les Baties", ce petit village de Haute-Saone (Est de la France) où il a également grandi.Aujourd'hui en 2010, si Marcelle revenait en France parmi nous, elle y trouverait toujours la quiétude de ces petits villages de campagne où il fait si bon vivre.Nous pensons bien à vous en ce moment difficile et vous présentons toutes nos condoléances.De la part de :-Raymond et Jacqueline AUPIAIS-Catherine et Bruno VEJUX, Anne-Lise et Bastien leurs enfants.

My mother Marcelle was a very strong and focused woman. She lived through the great depression, a terrible war and a very hard childhood. The memories of her younger life taught her hard lessons and made her determined to become self sufficient and successful. She met and married Henry Meyer a young GI stationed in post war Europe. The family moved to America and she taught herself english, how to drive, and she became a aide at the local hospital. She persued education and she became a dedicated worker and care giver. I don't ever recall her missing a day of work. The friends she made were friends for her whole life. She loved being a nurse, and I feel she had a need to continue helping people. After she retired, Marcelle went back to the hospital and became a "Pink Lady" volunteer. She also started vounteer work at Catholic Churches and local senior centers. Marcelle continued working at these vounteer jobs into her 80's until her health declined. My sister, Liane, took Marcelle into her home to care for and nurse her. Marcelle died peacefully after living a full life for almost 91 years. She will be missed.

Marcelle was like a second Mother to me for many years. I met her daughter, Liane, when I was in the fifth grade. She was like a sister to me ever since.

Marcelle was a true character who could always make me laugh. She loved speaking in french and looking through her France picture book while at the PACE center. She is a very special woman who will be missed. I'm pleased to know that she is now in Heaven with her savior Jesus Christ! Marcelle was blessed with a wonderful family who loved her very much. Marcelle's daughter, Liane, provided amazing daily care for Marcelle even when she was difficult and stubborn. God bless you Marcelle and your family!

I am Marcelle?s daughter. Many of you never had the opportunity to see the outstanding side of Marcelle. As you know she was French?.and she never let anyone forget it. She was born in war torn France where children were forced to work at an early age. Her brothers were sent away to work for employers when they were just 9 years old. My mother who lived in a small village where everyone knew each other was put on a train, at age 13 and sent to Paris to keep house and watch children with a family of complete strangers. Her formal education ended when she was 13 yet she had a remarkable intelligence she studied on her own and over time, even learned 4 different languages. After living in Germany for 2 years, she immigrated to the US. She traveled alone from NY to Milwaukee with my brother and me and without knowing a word of English. The nurses should take a look at one of her nursing notebooks for what I believe is a revealing glimpse of how she studied.My mother had a few obsessions?.aside from being French; she had to ?find a job.? She always found some kind of work no matter where she was or how difficult the job Market. When she moved to Utah, she found a job at a hospital as a Nurse?s Aide. She so impressed the hospital staff with her dedication and willingness to do whatever was needed that the hospital sent her to Nursing School. My mother was always there to work the double shift if someone called in sick. She volunteered to work virtually every holiday so others could be with their families. People were taken with her generosity of time, compliments and willingness to do for others. As long as I can remember her friends and co-workers referred to her as ?the saint? or ?Mother Theresa.? That is not to say that my mother was perfect. She had idiosyncrasies?quite a few as a matter of fact and my relationship with her, after my father?s death, was often stressful and she eventually shipped me off to school in France so I would not be a ?spoiled American? but instead learn to be a well behaved child ?like those in France?. It didn?t work but it was an incredible opportunity for me. My mother always spoke as though she had just gotten off the boat. She never forgot the country and family she left. For years, she would pack clothes and goodies in pillow cases, sew them shut and ship them back to the people she had left behind. A few years ago a cousin mentioned the gratitude and excitement the newly arrived package. But what they remember most is the unique odor when opened after weeks and weeks at sea. Marcelle was frugal. I think my brother and I grew up on left over hospital food. She was also a prolific letter writer. Everyone recognizes her letters because she filled every margin with writing. During the war when paper was in short supply people would use every inch of paper writing in the margins. My mother never stopped filling in those margins. After her retirement, my mother turned to volunteer work putting in more hours than if she had been working full time. She worked up until a month before the illness that brought her to VA, even walking as far as two miles to her volunteer job at the age of 85. My mother had very definite ideas about death. She didn?t like a lot of the customs we have about funerals, especially the make-up and the depressing atmosphere around an open casket. I requested this be a Celebration of her life for two reasons: One: her birthday is June 26th and two: she would want everyone to be happy that she has a new job in a better place where there is lots to be done and a much better supervisor.

Liane,I thoroughly enjoyed reading your tribute to Marcelle. You brought out so many interesting things about her! I especially liked your writing of her "new job in a better place." I was certainly privileged to have known her. Love and prayers,Todd
