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.
