Our deepest sympathy to all of Marcile's family. I remember visiting the Culpepper family in Homer when my family lived in Haynesville in the 1930's. We will keep you in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you for the loss of your Grandmother and Great Grandmother. There is no question where she is now and may you take comfort and joy in love that she had for her Lord and Savior, in the example of the life that she led and the love of her family and friends. She and my Dad grew up and went to school in Homer and she was a precious friend to my family. We attended Istrouma Baptist together where she and my Mom were dear friends, and Ms Marcile visited my Mom in the nursing home as long as she was able. There needs to be alot more Marcile C. Englands in this world today. She will be missed by all who knew her. What precious memories will forever be treasured. In HIS love,

The family of Olivia Mathews Doremire were saddened to hear about the passing of "Aunt Marcile". We all lived in Texas and kept in touch by mail and will miss her letters with all the news. Our prayers go out to the family.

I so admired and loved Mrs. Marcile. She was the epitome of strength, courage, faith and love. She was a very special lady in so many ways and will be truly missed by many. I will never forget the love and kindness she bestowed on me. God bless her and her family and friends.
