Marcella "Marcie" A. Torchia

Marcella "Marcy" A. Torchia, born on January 13, 1959, in Providence, Rhode Island, left this world on August 14, 2025, in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Marcy was a beacon of love and compassion, deeply cherished by all who knew her.

A proud graduate with a Registered Nursing degree from St. Joseph's Hospital, Marcy took great pride in the care she provided to her patients, always treating them with the compassion and dignity they deserved. Her dedication to nursing was a testament to her nurturing spirit and her commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

Marcy’s passion for life was infectious; she had a gusto for living that resonated with everyone around her. She never shied away from new adventures and approached each day with eagerness and excitement. In 2015, she embraced a significant change by leaving her longtime home in Rhode Island and relocating to the town of Whitehorse in the Yukon in Canada, near the Alaskan border. There, alongside her beloved husband, Rick Mombourquette, she found joy in traveling across the country in their RV, exploring new places, and savoring the precious moments they created together.

Family was of utmost importance to Marcy, and she cherished every opportunity to spend time with her loved ones, especially her grandchildren. With a passion for cooking, she embraced the regional cuisine of the north country, preparing moose sausage and wild salmon. Her love of the Yukon extended beyond the kitchen, as she could often be found hunting, fishing, and camping in the wilderness, sharing laughter and joy with those she loved around the campfire.

Marcy's spirit of giving was evident through her long-standing volunteer work at the Whitehorse Food Bank. Helping those in need brought her immense fulfillment, showcasing her generous heart and selfless nature.

She leaves behind a loving family that includes her husband, Rick Mombourquette; her siblings, Debra Nelson and husband Tom, Richard Torchia and wife Deborah, Lisa Kalcas, Christopher Torchia and wife Stacey, and Marcus Torchia and wife Jessica Goepfert; and her nieces and nephews, Christopher, Isabella, Nicholas, and Henry Torchia, along with Helena Kalcas, and step-daughter Rae Mombourquette and husband Mike Carlyle, and grandchildren Olive and Isaac. Marcy was predeceased by her mother, Marcella (Antonelli) Torchia, and her father, Richard Torchia, Sr.

Her life was a tapestry woven with family love, adventure, and the profound impact she had on others. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the smile that could light up a room and the love that she so freely shared.

A funeral service celebrating Marcy’s life will be held on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 11:00 am at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island, in the Redwood Chapel where friends and family can come together to honor her memory and cherish the legacy she leaves behind.
