Marcella Naranjo

Our Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother Marcella Louise Doyle Aceves Naranjo was called to her eternal resting place engulfed in beautiful love by the Father on March 7, 2017 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She entered this world on March 22, 1936 in Anderson County, IN, born to Paul and Helen Doyle. Marcella loved the Catholic Mass since her childhood days. She and her sisters would collect wild flowers on the way to school and take them to the church altar. Her first job as a young girl was cleaning the church and ringing the church bell, in which she took great pride. Later in life after her marriage she began teaching Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD), a religious education program provided to children by the Catholic Church. Her goal in life was to teach her family about her faith and leave a Catholic legacy.
