Known for her unwavering compassion and her ability to put others before herself, Marcella was a guiding light to her family and friends, a true embodiment of resilience and love.

Throughout her life, Marcella faced challenges with courage and perseverance, always putting her loved ones first. Her thoughtfulness and dedication to family and friends left a lasting legacy of kindness and devotion.

Marcella spent her later years at the Neighborhood in Rio Rancho, where she was surrounded by a caring and supportive community.

She was preceded in death by Miguel Silva, Margarita Rose Ochoa, Mike F. Silva, and Maria Delores (Auntie Dodo).
