Marlene Ann Ury, 80, of Ravenna, passed away Friday, March 6, 2026, at the Anna Maria of Aurora Nursing Home. On June 15, 1945, she was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late Joseph Baltenback and Eileen (Barbarotta) Kay. Raised by loving grandparents, mother, and step-father (Wesley Kay), she lived in the Streetsboro-Ravenna area most of her adult life. Marlene worked as a pastry chef for Mario’s International Spa, Aurora. Her greatest joy was loving and caring for her family. She will be remembered as a source of wisdom, emotional anchor, and family unifier. She was preceded in death by her mother, step-father, and sister Doreen Kay. Survivors include her husband of 41 years, David A. Ury, her children, Kenneth (Arlene) Ury, Patricia (Kurt) Chiller, Jeffrey (Lisa) Ury, Pamela (Scott) Kolner, Tina (Dino) Sargiovanni, Melissa Fitch, Jennifer Bell, 15 beautiful grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, sister Kathlyn Al-Dhubaib, a niece, two nephews, and dear cousins. In honor of her wishes, cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In keeping Marlene’s spirit of generosity, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in her honor.
