Marlene, lived a beautiful life. A woman of great taste and style, she left a smile and feeling of love with everyone that knew her. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

She had an amazing sense of humor and an unforgettable laugh. Her wit was always on point and known to say the most shocking things she could think of to leave you with memories to talk about for years to come. She loved to make her family and friends laugh with her jokes, facial expressions and silly sayings.

She was a true lover of music, singing, dancing and movies. She had a beautiful voice and often spoke of growing up singing with her brother “Sonny Boy”. Her idea of a perfect day would include coffee, a sweet roll listening to Elvis sing, John Travolta and Patrick Swayze dance in a movie and enjoy a strawberry milkshake with her family and James, the man she loved with all her heart , spending every waking moment she could with him for the past 8 years.
She was very creative and loved crafting, painting, sewing and making pretty things. These are all traits she passed down to her daughters and all her grandchildren.

Marlene was a great caregiver and after devoting her life to raising her children she worked many years at the Hansford Manor. She later called the Manor home, spending the last 12 years of her life here. She loved all the residents and employees loving them as she considered them her family.
