Marcella M. "Marsh"  (Miller ) Wolford, 87, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, passed away Tuesday March 5, 2019, at Mary Rutan Hospital in Bellefontaine, Ohio. She was born in Bellefontaine on October 18, 1931, to the late Fred and Louise Miller. Marcella was a 1949 graduate of Bellefontaine High School.
On November 27, 1949, she married her high school sweetheart, Paul Eugene " Gene " Wolford, who preceded her in death in 2013 after 63 years of marriage. She was also preceded in death by her infant son Martin Lee; her three siblings, Betty Young, Richard Miller and Joanne Park. Survivors include four children, Michael ( Peggy ) Wolford of Texas, Michelle ( David ) Yeater and Mark ( Paula ) Wolford of Upper Sandusky, Ohio; Sharri ( Tim ) Pond of Bellefontaine; ten grandchildren, Jason Wolford, Jeremy Wolford, Jennifer Davis, Matt Yeater, Ryan ( Elizabeth) Yeater, Kari (Arron ) Stewart, Maegen ( Tyler ) Manns, Amanda ( Jereth ) Miller, Jessica ( Matthew ) Koehler, and Anneliese Wolford, as well as fourteen great grandchildren.
She was best known for her work with Sunlight Realty, but her greatest love was caring for her family in any way she could. She enjoyed cooking for family events, making her wonderful potato salad and special mints, planting flowers around their house every spring, and just watching her great grandchildren play. A day swimming in their pool was one of her favorite pastimes. Marcella could talk to anyone about anything and never knew a stranger. Macular degeneration didn't stop her from her passion of reading, so she enjoyed listening to her books on tapes for hours at a time.
Visitation will be at Jennings Farley & Seeley Funeral Home & Crematory, West Liberty, Ohio, on March 9th 2019 from2-4 pm with a Celebration of Life to follow at 4:00pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in her honor to The Discovery Center of Bellefontaine or any organization of the donor's choice.
