Celebrating the life of

Marcella F. Graves

April 30, 1953 - April 20, 2021

Marcella F. Graves

Marcella F. Graves, 67, passed away on Tuesday, April 20th, 2021 after a valiant battle with cancer.  

Marcella was born on April 30, 1953 in Summerville, GA to James E. Kinsey and Ruby K. Brown.  She leaves behind her life partner, Wayne McGowan of Savannah; daughter, Kimberley Edwards of Ringold; son, Christopher (Danielle) Graves, of Savannah; four sisters, Peggy (Bob) Kirk of Americus; Agnes Hellman (John Christian), Shirley Moore of Chattanooga TN, and Sue (Mike) VanPelt of Ringold; brother James R. Kinsey (Kahn} of San Jose CA; three grandchildren: Zack and Braxton Edwards, both of Ringold, and Maribella Graves of Savannah; and several nieces and nephews.  

Marcella attended Chattooga Co. public schools.  In 1979, she, Kim, and Chris moved to Savannah to begin her professional career.  She worked in sales at various retail department stores, and later sold advertising for the Savannah Morning News. For the last twenty-plus years she worked as a mortgage loan officer and was involved in several industry organizations, and served on the Greater Savannah Home Builders Association’s Board of Directors.  Along the way, Marcella made many lifelong friends, as she never met a stranger, and always made people feel special. She always added her “special flare” to whatever she was doing. 
Visitation will be held on Saturday, April 24th at 5 p.m. at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel. A memorial service will immediately follow at 6 p.m.

Marcella’s wish was to be cremated.

Condolences to Kim, Christopher and families. I remember with fondness the special friendship with Marcella. Also the many wonderful trips we made with our daughters Kim and Karen to Twirling competitions with The Tennessee Twirling Institute. We shared many times of fun and laughter. I think of those days often. She will always have a special place in my heart. Prayers for all of you. Marie Waters

How I Got My Husband back... Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Wale can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr. Wale If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him +1(978) 406-9575
