Funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, February 7, 2015 at Stockman Church. Visitation will be held prior to the service, beginning at 11:30 a.m.

 

She was the youngest of Dan and Neppi Ramsey of Stockman. Born in 1923 she graduated from the College of Marshal, now known as East Texas Baptist University. Marcelle began her working career as a bookkeeper at the shipyards in Orange, Texas and then later worked in the accounting department of the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston, Texas.

 

She was preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, Yancie Cobb. Yancie and Marcelle eventually began their own family business which led them to move across Texas living in Houston, Brownsville and Seadrift before settling in Timpson, Texas.

 

Marcelle served as the bookkeeper during their various endeavors. One such business interest led them to live for a number of months in Honduras working with that government to create a new industry in wood products. After Yancie’s passing, Marcelle moved to Nacogdoches to retire.

 

Her love of singing began as a youth and she sang in numerous school and church choirs. She served her home church, Stockman United Methodist as a treasurer for many years. As a devoted believer in Christ, she lived a life that honored God in work, service to the church and to the community. Her laughter and smile will be a happy memory in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
