BEDFORD – Marcella Jo Elliott, 57, passed away Saturday morning, November 7, 2015, at her residence.

Born November 3, 1958, in Orangeville, she was the daughter of Oscar and Mary Alice (Greene) Russell. She married Michael Carl Elliott September 29, 1979, and he preceded her in death October 1, 2014.

Marcella was a qualified medical assistant, and had worked at Mitchell Manor. She was previously employed at Noe’s Chicken House and Essex. Marcella was a member of the Bride of Christ Fellowship.

She enjoyed spending long days going to yard sales and running errands with her mother and her sister, with whom she was very close. Marcella loved going on camping trips with her family. She was especially fond of all of her nieces and nephews, and she loved devoting her time and attention to all of them! Michael had given her the gift of a little dog (named Baby Girl) that quickly became her constant companion. Marcella was a kind and warm-hearted woman with many friends, and she was loved by all!

    I was raised knowing that Marcella was like my second mother, She meant the world to me. Growing up, her and Mike was a huge part of our life. Even still Marcella, was a huge part of my life, she was always Momma Jones. I love her dearly and always will. I'm glad to have had the time with her, we was all given. I am thankful she got to spend time with my Daughter Kaylie, who she looked at as her own Granddaughter, I'll never forget the memories of Marcella and Mike and My Mom and Dad and all of us. Marcella will always be someone that is very special to me and in my heart, I'm trying to be strong, cause I know she is where she wants to be. Rejoicing in Heaven above with the Lord and Mike, all looking down upon us. But it's hard, for the flesh in me misses her dearly. I love you Marcella. "Baby" Josh Turner.
