She was married to Donald Mays in November, 1964 in Glendale, California. They lived in Whittier, California for most of their time together but moved to Magalia, California upon retirement. Donald died on August 11, 1998. Marlene then married Kenneth Swanson in December, 2005 in Magalia. Kenneth died on December 5, 2006.
Marlene was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a proud 53 year member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). She enjoyed singing, painting, gardening and sewing. Her cats were her obsession and genealogy was her passion.
Survivors include two sisters-in-law Mary Lou Hawker and Marcia Hawker, both of Manchester, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husbands Donald Mays and Kenneth Swanson; and two brothers, Willard Hawker and Wallace Hawker.
