Marcelle Cervel Stoll Obituary (1930 - 2005)

Marcelle Cervel Stoll, beloved wife, mother, grandmother returned to her Heavenly Father on December 29, 2005 after a valiant struggle with cancer, surrounded by her loving family at home. Marcelle was the third child born to Pierre Louis Cervel & Josephine Giordano on September 30, 1930 in Nice France. As a young woman she met the LDS Missionaries, received the gospel, and on her 21st birthday was baptized in the Mediterranean Sea. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1951, sponsored by the Crabtree family in Ogden, Utah to whom she was always grateful. She met her eternal companion Guenther W. Stoll and was married in the Salt Lake Temple September 16, 1954. Together they raised a family of eight children. (Although the dinner table was often crowded, there was always room for one more.) She lovingly opened her home to many who were far from their homelands, continuing the tradition of kindness shown her when she was new to this country. Marcelle was a woman of great faith. She cheerfully served in many church positions including an inner city mission with her husband. Her testimony and love for the Savior and her Heavenly Father was her guiding principle in all she did. Her greatest joy was serving and being near her family. She devoted her life to helping her children and grandchildren. She was never happier than when all of her family came together for one of her delicious dinners. Marcelle developed nurtured lifelong friendships which she treasured. These friends were a great support to her and she counted them as sisters. She is survived by her husband, Guenther W. Stoll and their children, Colette (Mike) Lancaster, Renee (Kordell) Norton, David (Amelie), Richard (Tiffany), Jacqueline (Brad) Howard, Jeannine (Brent) Barger, Robert (Eugenie), Suzanne (Tim) Snell, 25 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and a sister Olga Galanti Corsica, France.
