Mrs. Charlotte Lillian (Beasley) Marcil, 85, formerly of 3 Potter St. Adams, died Monday afternoon, December 24, 2007 at Sweet Brook Care Center in Williamstown. She was born in Adams on August 30, 1922, the daughter of the late Eugene C. and Mary L. (Koehler) Beasley, and attended Adams schools, graduating from the former Adams High School in 1942. Mrs. Marcil first worked at the former Brightwater Paper Co. in Adams for many years before her marriage, and, after raising her family, returned to work at Excelsior Process & Engraving Co. in North Adams, now a division of Crane & Co., until retiring in January of 1985 after 16 years of service. She was a communicant of the Parish of Notre Dame & St. Thomas Aquinas, Adams, and was a devoted mother and grandmother. Her husband, Oliver Marcil, whom she married on June 1, 1946 in St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Adams, died on February 12, 1983. She is survived by 1 Daughter - Nancy M. Gwozdz and her husband, Joseph J. Gwozdz, of Cheshire; A son -in-law - Henry J. Czubryt, of Adams; 5 Grandchildren - Sarah B. Gwozdz of Billerica, MA; Alicia A. Gwozdz and Adam J. Gwozdz both of Cheshire, MA; and Jonathan D. Czubryt and Rachel M. Czubryt, both of Adams; and a sister in law, Claudette Marcil of Adams. Her daughter, Mary M. Czubryt, died on December 5, 2002, and a granddaughter, Rebecca A. Czubryt, died on February 21, 1980. The funeral will be held on Friday, December 28th, at 9:00 AM from the PACIOREK FUNERAL HOME, 13 Hoosac St. Adams, followed by a Liturgy of Christian Burial at 10:00 AM in St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Adams. Burial will follow in Bellevue Cemetery, Adams. Calling hours are Thursday from 5 to 7 PM at the funeral home. The family has requested the omission of flowers, and suggests donations be made to the Mary M. Czubryt Memorial Schoalrship Fund, in care of the funeral home. This scholarship was established after the death of Charlotte's beloved daughter, Mary, who taught in the Adams-Cheshire Regional School District for over 30 years. This scholarship is given each June to a graduating student of Hoosac Valley High School who chooses to pursue a four year degree in elementary education or a related field. This cause was particularly dear to Charlotte as a way of honoring the many years of service her daughter had given to so many generations of students, and as a way of promoting the field of education to young people.
