On July 11, 1942, Marcelle married Arden H. Anderson. The couple made their home east of Lake Mills where Arden farmed and Marcelle enjoyed life as a homemaker and farm wife. Learning how to garden, sew, and quilt over the years, she took care of their family and decorated cakes.
Marcelle worked at Monk’s Grill and owned and operated the motel in Lake Mills. She also worked as an inspector at Fleetguard Industries for a number of years.
She definitely served as a rock in her family, both spiritually and emotionally, not only for her children, but also for her grandchildren. Always willing to support her children and grandchildren emotionally, Marcelle unconditionally offered them her nonjudgmental support and encouragement. They could always lean on her shoulder when they needed her. She was also proud to be part of the American Legion Auxiliary and an RSVP volunteer at school. She loved bowling.
