Marlene had a knack for business and a creative spirit. She enjoyed painting and crafting projects alongside her husband, Darrell. Whether playing cards with friends or sharing laughter with loved ones, her joy was contagious. She loved cooking for her family, and every meal she made was filled with warmth and love. Her daughters fondly remember each dish, especially her meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Though she was baptized as a child, she chose to be baptized again later in life as a renewed declaration of her faith.
