Marcella M. Ranson peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father September 2, 2014. She was the oldest daughter of John F. and Edna A. McIntosh. She married Lawrence E. Ranson on July 26, 1940 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Mom was a wonderful mother and a great cook. No one ever left her home hungry. She loved wearing pearls, never missing the Lawrence Welk show, eating waffles and See's chocolates. Mom had a heart of gold and was compassionate to everyone and always there to help. Marcella worked at See's Candies and ZCMI for many years. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and dedicated to working in the Monument Park 6th Ward Primary.
Marcella is survived by her daughter Marcia Ann, nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents, husband, son Edwin, sister Virginia Connors, brother-in-law Charles Connors, brothers William V. and Lavell McIntosh. She will be greatly missed.
The family of one would like to thank the firemen and paramedics for their many visits to her home, the doctors and nurses of IMC hospital 9th Floor, and CareSource for the compassionate and tender care in the last week of her life.
Viewings will be held Sunday September 7, 2014 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Monday September 8, 2014 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple, followed by graveside services at 1:00 p.m. at the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
