Marlene Klumb Obituary
Marlene attended high school in Spencer, Oklahoma where she met the love of her life, David Klumb. Before marrying, Marlene moved to New York City where she was a flight attendant for TWA. While traveling she and David were reacquainted and were engaged soon after and returned to Oklahoma where they were married August 31, 1968. Throughout the next eight years Marlene was a dedicated wife supporting her husband who was a pilot in the Marine Corps; stationed in Okinawa, California, and North Carolina. Upon moving home to Oklahoma, they proceeded to have two children, Lee Ann and Katie. Marlene was a stay-at-home mom and then went on to attend the University of Oklahoma where she received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. For the next ten years Marlene taught third and fourth grade in Little Axe public schools. After retiring from teaching you could always find Marlene tending to her garden, playing tennis, or spending time with her grandchildren.
In 2017, Marlene was confirmed into the Catholic Church. Over the next 8 ½ years Marlene and David would grow in their faith and love for Jesus and His Church, leading their family, and striving to live their lives as disciples of Christ.
Marlene is survived by her husband, David, her daughter Lee Ann, her husband Bryan and their son Adan, and her daughter Katie, her husband Denver and their children Brock, Gunner, and Christian. Marlene lived a very blessed life and was loved and admired by many.
