Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary and Crematory on Dec. 23, 2025.
Marlene was born October 9th, 1967 and gained her wings on December 10th 2025 surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of strength, compassion, and devotion to family. She was a loving wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, and friend whose presence brought comfort and warmth to those who knew her.

She was born in El Salvador, raised in San Francisco, and later came to Clearlake, where she attended high school and spent her later years close to those she loved.

She is survived by her beloved mother, Mary, age 100, whose strength and longevity she deeply admired. Marlene was a devoted mother to her four children: Mary, Anthony, Marlene Jr., and Anthony Jr., each of whom carries forward her values, resilience, and love. She was also a proud and cherished grandmother to her grandchild, Aiden, who brought her immense joy.
