When Bill unexpected passed away, Marcelle launched Les Cinq Frères catering business as a way to support her family. Word of mouth spread quick and it became a sought after business in both private and corporate engagements.

Beyond the kitchen, Marcelle found solace and happiness in the great outdoors. She was an avid gardener and a passionate advocate for the beauty of nature. Marcelle and her beloved husband, Bill, shared a deep love for camping, where they forged lasting memories with their five sons. These outdoor adventures became a cherished family tradition, instilling in her children a profound appreciation for the natural world. Above all else, Marcelle loved her time spent with her adoring grandchildren.
