    Aunt Marcella was such an amazing, kind, loving gentle sweet woman. Growing up and playing in my grandma and pappap's yard (Emily Ann Sharpe, her oldest sister) was so much fun because aunt Marcella and uncle Glenn lived next door. I would always climb the tree by her back door and hide, all the family gatherings.. my favorite and fondest memories by far were those years growing up playing as a child. Aunt Marcella always remember our birthdays, she sent cards for all occasions. She truly will be missed. She is now in heaven with the love of her life, and her sisters... to all the Wells adult siblings, my deepest condolences, your mom was a true inspiration to anyone and everyone who knew her. Rest in peace...xoxoxoxo
