After her husband died, 71-year-old Marcella Gordon rented out the farm, moved back into town and got a job at the Wilcox Credit Union. A few months later, she had what she called one of the biggest adventures of her life when the credit union was robbed, at gunpoint.
Marcella Gordon had always been healthy, but when she was 91, she was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After it was removed, her doctor was reluctant to give her follow-up treatments – because of her age. That didn’t sit well with Marcella at all…
Marcella was Doc’s cousin but much more than that! A lovely, classy lady who lived large for most of her 108 years, a big sports fan, a woman with a heart of gold.
