Marlene was the kind of person who gave everything she had to the people around her. She helped raise her family, always putting others before herself, and made sure everyone felt taken care of no matter what was going on in her own life. Her love was steady, real and something you could always count on. She had a personality that people will never forget. Her famous “Hi, dummy” was never meant to be anything but love. That was her way of saying that she cared, her own special way of making people smile and feel seen. It became something everyone close to her understood and cherished.

She enjoyed the old TV shows including, The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke and Wagon Train and she loved Elvis. She loved her family and always enjoyed the activities and sporting events of her grandchildren.
