Marcella W Oliver

May 8, 1954 — March 12, 2023

Marcella Winifred Oliver was born on Marcella Winifred Oliver in the Bronx, New York to the late Michael and
Margaret St. Clair. She was the fourth of six children from this loving union.
Marcella, who was heavily focused on education, graduated from Walton High School. She went on to
study chemistry, and received an Associate Degree in January 1978 from Bronx Community College.

Not only did Marcella excel in her studies, she was an exceptional sketch artist, violinist, travel guru, stitcher,
knitter and worker. She also met her late husband and moved from the Bronx to start her family.
In between these events, Marcella began her nearly 40 year career with McDonalds Corporation.
Starting as a fry girl in 1972, she quickly moved up the ranks to management. Through Marcella's
continuous dedication, she became General Manager, and was given the opportunity to bring in a new
set of McDonald & 39 restaurants in both South Carolina and Georgia until her retirement in 2012.
Her greatest accomplishments however, were the births of her children; Latasha (1981), Seneca (1985),
Tyrone (1986), and Monique (1989). She devoted her life to them which continued on with her
grandchildren, prompting her to move back to NYC soon after retirement to be closer and help care for
them.
Marcella loved everything Tyler Perry, the Jurassic Park film series, and any Asian movies you can think
of (particularly King Kong and Godzilla). She was fiercely protective, loved the holidays, and had a killer
sweet tooth.
Marcella leaves to mourn, her four children, Latasha, Seneca, Tyrone, and Monique; three sons-in-law,
Jamal, Eric, and Patrick; one daughter-in-law, Ashley; nine grandchildren, Tuwan, Terrance, Messiah,
Autumn, Amaya, Jeremiah, Elijah, Savannah, and Serenity; her brothers, Michael and Winston; sister,
Jean; aunt, Gloria Griffith-Bourne; niece, Victoria; nephews, Winston and Christian; great niece and
nephew, Lauren and Christian Jr., a number of cousins and a host of friends and adopted family. She will
be deeply missed.
