Marla Gering McCarthy

October 14, 1961 – September 22, 2023

On September 22, 2023, our loving God called Marla home.

Born in Trenton, NJ, she was a lifelong resident of the Mercer/ Bucks county area.

She is predeceased by her parents Rudy and Joan Gering, and brother David Gering. She is survived by her daughter Shannon McCarthy, brother Lawrence Gering, longtime companion Michael Rousseau and her two cats Isabella and Tryphilla.

Marla was a beach person and an avid reader which seemed to go hand in hand.

In her later years she spent time working in her garden growing many kinds of flowers, her favorite being snap dragons.

Along with her love for her daughter she was fond of her array of pets. Her interactions with them can only be described as “astonishing.” We are sure she has already met Roscoe, Sweetie Me, Buddy, Rusty Girl and many others on the Rainbow Bridge.

For all who knew and loved Marla, there will be a memorial service on Saturday, September 30 at 11:00 am at St. Peters Lutheran Church, 1608 Harbourton Rocktown Road, Lambertville, NJ 08530.
