Marcella Emma was born September 18, 1925 to Adolph and Emma (Pesek) Hamberger in Tyndall, SD. She married Donald Kolda on February 26, 1946 and they had two sons, Duane in 1949 and Larry in 1953; four grandchildren: Eric Kolda, Clint Kolda, Bridgit (Kolda) Kasch and Jason Kolda; five great grandchildren: Aaron Kasch, Elizabeth Kolda, Brandon Kasch, Kyle Kolda and Noah Kolda.

Marcella enjoyed being with her family and traveling with Donald. In her later years as age crept in, she enjoyed riding her mobility scooter on the bike paths of Yankton. The locals soon learned that Marcella had the right of way.

May she rest in the arms of our Lord and be with her husband, Don (dearly missed for the past 33 years). May they also be fishing together, a past time she truly cherished.

Marcella is also survived by her brother, Maynard Hamberger of Yankton, SD and sister, Larraine (Hamberger) Rehurek of Tyndall, SD and many nieces and nephews.

Marcella was preceded in death by her husband, Donald; her parents, Emma and Adolph Hamberger; her sister, Clara (Hamberger) Walz; brothers: Emil, Clarence, Lawrence, Donald, Vern, and Elmer.
