Marcille Jeanne Cutler, a long time resident of Willow Springs, MO passed away Sunday, July 23, 2023, with her family by her side at her apartment in the Landmark Villa Assisted Living Center, Cabool, MO. She was born August 19, 1932, in Scott City, KS to Vain Melbourn and Mildred Louise (Rictor) Watt and was 90 years old.
Marcille graduated from Scott City Kansas High School and went on to receive her Associate Degree from Fort Hays State University. Marcille found work in many different fields but was particularly proud of her work as a cosmetologist starting the first Tanning Salon in West Plains, MO, working as a livestock and grain farmer, and her accomplishments as a writer. She was an active member of the Church of Christ in Willow Springs for many years. In her free time, she enjoyed acting, directing, and producing plays for the Star Theater. She sat on the board of Ozarks Sheltered Industries for many years. She was also an avid reader and excellent seamstress; however, her greatest love was spending time with her family, especially her two grandchildren. Marcille was energetic, strong willed, intelligent, loving, generous, and a sharp dresser. She will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew her.
Marcille was preceded in death by her daughter, Shelley Cutler; her two infant sons; her parents, Vain and Mildred; her brother, Vain Watt Jr.; and her sister, Connie Watt.
She is survived by her daughter, Jamie Bryan; her son, Chris Cutler and wife, Amy; her granddaughter, Jimalee Bryan and husband, Mark; and her great grandson, Colt Bryan.
The family requests that any memorials be written in memory of Marcille to the Star Theater and mailed to 127 E. Main Street, Willow Springs, MO 65793.
