Marcelle Shyne, 63, of Bozeman passed away on Thursday, March 10, 2022. She was born in Bozeman to Michaela Shyne and Norman Shyne on December 7, 1958, the fourth of six children.
Growing up, she attended Emerson, Willson schools, Bozeman Junior, and Senior High Schools. She was an avid swimmer and member of the Bozeman Bees Swim team.

Her charisma and smarts took her far in a career that included work in real estate appraisals, processing wild game for Happel’s Meats, electronic assembly for Video Lottery Consultants (VLC), Quantel-Laser, and Neuralynx. In her free time, she adored playing with and raising animals, especially cats. She loved baby lambs and thought them to be the most beautiful thing in the world. She also enjoyed playing pool. Marcelle was the Woman’s City League Champion one of the years she played league pool. She also enjoyed camping with family and friends in the great outdoors.
