Marlene Nancy Stephens, age 82, of Milwaukee, WI, passed away on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She will be greatly missed by all of us who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Marlene was a neighbor of mine during the pandemic. She was a positive and strong person that gave other people encouragement to preserve with her good sense of humor. Marlene will be missed. Godspeed.
