Marcele was born on September 20, 1923 in Rockwell, Iowa, daughter of Joseph and Margaret (Kelley) Gallagher. She attended and graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Rockwell. After graduating, she worked for Doctor Fleming for several years.

She was united in marriage to Richard W. Ermer November 29, 1952. Together they lived on a farm in rural Rockwell, and raised three children. Marcele enjoyed attending her grandchildren's activities, sewing, crocheting, shopping, and watching sports. Her favorite teams were; Norte Dame, Minnesota Twins, Cubs, and the Hawkeyes.
