Marcella Pauline (Sofka) Cieslinski
January 25, 1920 – September 4, 2004
Marcella "Marcy" P. Cieslinski, 84, of Ubly, passed away Saturday, September 
4, 2004, at the home of her daughter, Mary Vandemark, in Marquette.  Marcella 
was born to the late Martin H. and Anna (Grzybowski) Sofka on January 25, 1920 
in Ubly.  She married her beloved husband, Anthony "Tony" Joseph Cieslinski, 
on October 25,1941 at St. Columbkille Catholic Church.  He preceded her in 
death on November 22, 2003.    Marcy and Tony moved to their farm in Peck in 
1942, before returning to Ubly in 1956, where they farmed and had a dairy 
operation.  Marcy was Tony's lifetime helper on the farm and was active with 
Tony in the Michigan Animal Breeders Cooperative.  As well as working on the 
farm and the dairy operation, Marcy was a busy homemaker, yearly planting a 
large garden and preserving the harvest while raising their children.  She was 
a gifted seamstress making clothing and items for the home.  Marcy was a 
member of the Daughters of Isabella Fidelis Regina Circle No.  608 and the 
St.  John Christian Mothers Circle No. 4 Queen of Angels.  Marcy and Tony 
enjoyed traveling very much, although being at their Florida residence was her 
favorite.  She always looked forward to the children, relatives, and friends 
visiting them there.  She was the queen to her family and friends when it came 
to baking desserts and candies, with English toffee being a specialty.  Marcy 
always enjoyed playing cards, even until shortly before her death, though she 
said it wasn't as much fun without her Tony.  

Marcy is survived by her children, Michael A. Cieslinski and his wife, 
Melinda, of L'Anse, John Cieslinski and his wife, Glennda, of Ubly, and Mary 
E.  Vandemark and her husband, Terry, of Marquette; seven grandchildren,

grandchildren, Chantel, Matthew and Cheyanne Cieslinski, Nikki and Errin 
Ewald, Codi Lipe, Alexys and Aydan Witting, and Nathan Vandemark.    Marcella 
was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Anthony "Tony" Cieslinski; an 
infant son, Joseph; one brother, Henry Sofka; one sister, Adrianna 
Wasierski.
