Obituary Forever In Our Hearts Marcella Rowe, 81, of Vineland, New Jersey transitioned from this life to be with the Lord on Monday, July 22, 2024 after a lengthy illness.  Marcella was born in Bridgeton, NJ on August 4, 1942 to the late Daniel Carlton Butler, Sr and Panzye Donaldson Butler.    Marcie or Marty, as she was affectionately called, received her formal education in the Bridgeton Public School System.  She participated in the Service League Volunteer Organization and the Junior Red Cross in high school, and graduated in1960.  She later graduated from Craig School of Beauty in Philadelphia, PA. Marcella worked at Prudential Life Insurance Company for over 30 years, before retiring. She also worked at National Freight before her final retirement. One of Marcella’s greatest joys came from serving the Lord, which she started at a young age.  She was a dedicated member at Mt. Pisgah Methodist Church for over 50 years. She was the church secretary of Pastor Darnell K. Wise for many years and was appointed to the Board of Stewards where she served as Chairperson for 8 years, sang with the Gospel Ensemble Choir, was on the Kitchen Committee, Christian Endeavor, Mother Board and Women’s Fellowship Committee. Marcella’s other great joy was her family, whom she loved and cherished dearly. Her family adored her for so many reasons and on so many levels. She had a beautiful smile, caring spirit and was always willing to help anyone. She will be so warmly and lovingly remembered for the beautiful times she genuinely shared with so many people. Marcella was married to the late David Rowe for 28 years.  They shared a beautiful life together of love, fun, traveling and being with family. She leaves to cherish her memory: her loving children Wanda Coleman, Marilyn Cintron (Roderick) and David Rowe (Kim); sisters Delores Frain and Janice Sease (Willie); grandchildren Avery Coleman, Adriane Coleman, Marcella Salter, Caleb Cintron, John Hall, Brianna Hall, Alexandra Rowe and Eric Rowe; great-grandchildren Xavier Maxwell and Peyton Williams, her BFF for 70 years Dorothy (Dottie) Hall, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that love her dearly.  Special mention to her dedicated neighbors and great friends, Miss Vilma Parker and Eddie Rodriquez who looked after her fiercely. Though we are heartbroken on earth, she will be greeted with joyful celebration in heaven by her predeceased parents, Daniel Carlton Butler, Sr and Panzye Donaldson Butler, husband David Rowe, daughter Karen Salter, two sisters Charlotte Cole and Lucille Dunkins, and four brothers Edwin, Daniel, George and Donald Butler. Lovingly submitted, The Family “Love one another as the Lord wants. Be accepting of others and help one another.”
