She visited Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, and even Australia and Belize. She especially enjoyed trips to her timeshare in Mexico. Marlene loved her grandchildren and was blessed with many, whom she cherished spending time with. She will be dearly missed.

I am very sorry to learn of Marlene´s passing. I did not know her well at all, but I met her several years ago as she sold jams and jellies at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. She was my "dealer" for Huckleberry Jelly, which was out of this world fantastic! It´s not easy to find that around here, and I would buy up as much as I could, and wouldn´t tell a soul where I got it, for fear that it would be sold out before I could stock up. It was the best, and I´ve missed it these past few years. She was a joy to visit with and carried a huge smile. I was always happy to see her.
My condolences to her family and all who loved her.
