Marcella “Marcy” Ann Mathis, 58, of Antioch, peacefully passed away Monday, June 29, 2026, at home, after a 27-month battle with cancer. She was born August 22, 1967, in Chicago, to Frank and Emily Mathis.

Marcy loved all of God’s creation, but was especially fond of turtles, whales, and raising monarch butterflies. She was a lover of God’s word and was a member of several Bible groups. She was a student of the Shepherd’s Chapel, Gravette, AR, and loved to read the Word out of the Old King Jame’s version. Marcy was also active in the Antioch Recovery Club’s Families Anonymous.

Survivors include her husband of 20 years, Jeff; son, Frank (Paula) Ardito; father, Frank (Nancy) Mathis; sisters, Marie (Wally Palcynsky) Wiatr and Amy (Ben) Antonelli; nephews and nieces, Bobby Wiatr Jr., Samantha (CJ Cappuccilli) Wiatr, Jesse Wiatr, Grace Mathis, and Nick Mathis; grandnephew, Jax Wiatr; uncle and aunt, Michael (Randi) Mathis and Jan (Jett) Meske; and her dogs, Gigi and Molly.

She was preceded in death by her mom, Emily (nee Crooker) Mathis; brother, Ricky Olson; uncle, Gary Mathis; and cousins, Sean and Jerry Mathis.

You cannot possibly know just how much your support has meant to me and our family throughout Marcy’s 27-month cancer journey. We thank you for your prayers, cards, visits, food, texts, and financial support during that difficult time. May God bless all of you.

A celebration of Marcy’s life will be held Thursday, July 23, 2026, from 1-4 p.m., at Rivalry Alehouse, 945 Main St., Antioch, IL. Interment will be private.
