Marcella Jane Howard, 54, of Palm Coast, Florida passed away Saturday, April 26, 2025.  She was born on May 13, 1970 in Cincinnati, Ohio.  She had many occupations throughout the years, but she was most proud of being a mother and grandmother, or more accurately, a Memaw!  She dedicated her life to her family, keeping her family together, and supporting them in immeasurable ways.  She always took opportunities to make regular moments special. Her happiness truly came from the happiness of her friends and family.

She was strong, brave, and beautiful. It didn't matter how deep the valley was, how dark the cave was, how treacherous the waters were, if it was to help her family, she would be there holding out a helping hand. Since she was a little girl, she dreamed not of crowns and castles, but of motherhood - and when that blossomed into reality she embraced it with grace, love, and radiant joy. Her soul overflowed with beauty and warmth, a gentle light that touched everyone around her. Even in moments of scarcity, she gave freely, embodying selflessness even when she had little left to give.

She is with The Lord now. As we mourn her passing, she would want us to honor her spirit not with sorrow, but by cherishing the beautiful moments we were blessed to share- to hold onto joy, not loss.

Marcella is survived by her grandsons, Michael and Vinnie; mother, Candice Beitman; step-mother, Sharon Sackett; step-mother, Kathy Sackett; son, Matthew Beitman (Kirsten); daughter, Morgan Griffin (Shane); son, Michael Howard; son, Mason Howard (Yen); son, Mitchell Howard; brother, Dwight; brother, Ronnie; sister, Kathleen; grandchildren, Waylon, Alyssa, Gracie, and Baby Girl Beitman; spouse, Michael A. Howard; and other extended family and friends.  She is preceded in death by her father, Mark Sackett and step-father Ron Beitman.

There will be a private funeral service at the Flagler County Baptist Church, Bunnell, Florida with interment at Flagler Memorial Gardens, Flagler Beach, Florida.
