My apologies for being so late in finding Marcelle had passed 😞.  I knew her son back in the early/mid 80s as we both attended UT-K then.  He became a good friend, but we were on different trajectories as we continued in school.  I did met her and George during a long stay at their residence during the Summer of ‘83.   He called me in 1991 and shocked me about his sister’s tragic death in 1987.  I saw Philip in 1991 in ATL soon after my marriage that summer.  Again, I was shocked to hear of his passing in 1995.  It was not until 2017 that I returned to the Talley residence and had a long afternoon visit with Marcelle.  We sometimes stayed in touch, but I regret not returning for a visit before here passing.  May all the Talley family forever rest in perfect existence in the Lord’s Kingdom.

I miss you, my friend.  We have shared a lot of laughs and perhaps a few tears.  How many recipes have we discussed?  I wish I could bring you one more "hot" pickle. 

A true southern lady with whom I became an extended family member after my best friend and her niece, Brenda introduced us. Marcell opened her home to me as a regular visitor since we lived within the same area of Nashville. She loved to shop for clothes and shared her memories of her family who had pasted before I met her.  She was a kind lady.
After I moved from Nashville, I still kept up with her through Brenda. I know Brenda loved Aunt Marcell as much as Brenda did her own mother. She cared for both of them thru health and sickness and now morns another loss. Marcell's family is part of mine. She will be greatly missed. Enjoy your reunion in heaven dear lady.
Your friend, Gail 

She was the sweetest one in the nursing home. The CNAs and I loved your aunt very much. She was always so bright and independent. We miss her very much and hope the best for your family.
