Marcella Chamberlain Mcdonald

Memorial services for Marcella Chamberlain McDonald, 85, of Lufkin, will be held Monday, March 11, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. in St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church with The Rev. Arthur A. Callaham officiating.

On Saturday, March 2, 2013, our loving mother, Marcella (Nanny) Chamberlain McDonald was called home to our Heavenly Father, a cradled Episcopalian. She was born on November 25, 1927 in Trenton, New Jersey, the youngest of seven children born to Mary (Potts) and Perry Chamberlain.

She was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, friend, grandmother and great grandmother. Nanny enjoyed butterflies, crocheting, playing Skip-Bo, and walking with her granddaughters for the March of Dimes here in Lufkin. Mother had served her country as a Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Bobby Jim McDonald; her brothers and sisters; and her precious granddaughter, Kellie Autumn Jones.

She is survived by her daughter, Peggy McDonald of Lufkin; daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Kevin Jones of Lufkin; granddaughter, Kacie Jones-Osorio and husband Johnathan and two great grandsons, Kelsen Stone (5 years old) and Kadin Solace (2-1/2 years old), all of Texas; granddaughter, Holly Regan of Mississippi; sister, Betty Holmes of Mt. Holly, New Jersey; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

The family would like to thank Angelina Home Health, A-Compassionate Home Health and Hospice in the Pines for all their help during our journey.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Arthritis Foundation, P.O. Box 96280, Washington, DC 20077.

Every day is a blessing
Every day is a gift
Embrace it.
