Marcelline Joyce Henry was born December 18, 1950, in Philadelphia Pa. to the late James Henry (Father) and Edith Barcus (Mother). Marcelline was deeply rooted in her faith and on February 18, 2025, at 9:53 PM, God decided to ease her pain and allowed her transition to be closer to Him.
Marcelline, lovingly known as Joyce or Marcie to her family and close friends, attended Philadelphia Public School and graduated from the Murrell Dobbins Area Vocational-Technical School in 1968. She went on to work and had a long career in transportation, where she retired from Amtrak.
Marcie leaves behind a sister, two sons, and a host of family and friends.
"Now that I've passed away, don't let tears fall like rain,
For my spirit still dances, in the sunlight and the rain.
Seek me in the whispers of the wind, in the stars' gentle gleam,
In the laughter of loved ones, a cherished, vibrant dream.
Though my body is silent, my heart beats on in yours,
In memories we shared, forever open doors.
Hold me close in your thoughts, let love be your guide,
For even in passing, I'm always by your side."
