I remember very well driving down Main Street in Victoria, KS. It was always Marlene driving and yes, I felt safe. She was one wonderful woman, and I do still miss her. Big hugs for Marlene and lots of love from my heart. You'll be forever missed cousin Marlene!

What a wonderful and funny and yes ornery cousin she was! She always made me smile and felt loved to the max. She reminded me so much of her Momma, my Aunt Lillian! May she and all of the faithful departed . . . REST IN PEACE!!!

There is so much about Marlene that will be missed, but I will always remember her laughter, sense of humor, and quick smile. Her love and devotion to God, her husband, Fred, and her children was inspirational and true testimony to her faith. I will miss her dearly. Dear, Lord, please hold each who loved Marlene, in your loving arms and comfort them.
