Marlene Daum Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 1, 2019.
Marlene Daum of Berwyn, PA and Naples, FL at the age of 87 on March 1st in Paoli Hospital, peacefully and without pain from the effects of cancer. Her loving husband of 65 years, Alan, and daughter, Karen Catron were at her side. Her son Gary Daum, MD passed away a few hours after her, also of cancer. Marlene graduated Summa Cum Laude from NYU in 1953 and after a few years as a statistician decided to use her talents to raise her family. She succeeded extremely well. In addition to her husband, Marlene is survived by daughter, Karen (Steve), her grandsons, Zachary Catron and Jason Daum, her daughter in law, Jenn Daum, sister in law Marcia Friedman and a niece and three nephews. Marlene did not want a funeral service or memorial. Instead of a donation to a charity, she wanted those who knew her to enjoy a dinner at a favorite restaurant with someone they love.

Marlene and I shared the same first name and always joked about it. Such a sweet lady. We will miss you, marlene.

Marlene was a wonderful caring woman - although we were sister-in-laws, we felt like close sisters sharing the ups and downs of life . Marlene was very special - creative,very bright and a loyal friend. She will be missed by many but always remembered with love.
