Marcette graduated from Elkins High School in Elkins, West Virginia. She loved reading, especially stories about the Amish people, knitting for family members, and going to casinos. She had a special love for Bethany Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where she kept the books for many years. Most recently she attended Christ Fellowship Church in Anna before her health no longer allowed her to attend.
She worked in Washington DC as a secretary and various other clerical positions for HUD, and for the Social Security Administration as a claims representative while raising her daughter. She spent the last 20 years retired, enjoying her family, friends, home and garden. Her greatest love was her family with whom she served and loved generously.
