Marlene Wells Obituary

Published by Legacy on Aug. 23, 2025.
Marlene Day Well, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on August 22, 2025, in Florence, Kentucky, at the age of 70.

She was born on January 17, 1955, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the daughter of the late Louise (Caudill) Day and Oliver Day.

Marlene was a devoted homemaker who loved her family dearly. She will be remembered for her strength, kindness, and the unconditional care she gave to those around her. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her loved ones, and her legacy of love will continue through them.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Wendell Wells; her daughters, Erika Wells, Deanna Wells, and Tara Wells; her cherished grandsons, Princeton Davis and Paxtyn Davis; her sister, Dorothy Lonaker; and her brothers, Larry Day and Timothy Day. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, Danny Day and Kenneth Day.

A celebration of Marlene's life will be held at a later date.
