Marlene was a special kind of lady, she touched the lives of all who knew her, including myself. I will forever miss her sense of humor and unique laugh. We spent many evenings hanging out watching her favorite TV shows IE: CNN & reality shows such as Survivor & The Batchelor shows (oh yes she watched them all…lol) She definitely had a spirit and style that was all her own. We never said goodbye, it was always see ya later!
❤️
Marlene was an amazing lady full of laughter and a very giving person. I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet and know her. May she rest in peace and no longer be in pain. ❤️
