Marcille was the 4^th daughter born to Art J and Emma (Schumacher) Werre at Bismarck Hospital on May 8, 1948.  She grew up on the family farm near Tappen, ND, and attended school in Napoleon, ND, graduating from Napoleon High School in 1965.  She later attended and graduated from Capital Commercial Business College.    

Marcille married Gerald Rohrich on December 2, 1967, and they enjoyed 48 years together before his passing in 2014.  They had one daughter, Lisa Ann, who was the light of Marcille’s life. They resided in Napoleon before moving to Bismarck in 1971.     

Marcille worked in many office positions, including Napoleon High School and the admissions office at Bismarck Junior College. Gerry and Marcille spent many years working side by side with ventures in a custom combining business that took them to Texas, owning Rohrich’s Chevy and Olds in Elgin, and eventually returning to Bismarck to open Rohrich’s Used Cars in Bismarck until their retirement.  

Marcille was such a kind and genuine person who loved to laugh and enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved to play Bingo, tabs and slot machines and she was one lucky lady! She and Gerry both enjoyed car racing, collecting antiques, attending auction sales, and trips to casinos.   Family history was a passion for Marcille as well as all things family. She kept newspaper articles of any family member and never missed sending a card and many times a special photo or hand-made gift for birthdays and anniversaries. She enjoyed cooking, entertaining, and decorating for the seasons. She will be greatly missed by many.
