Marlene was born in Scranton on Feb. 1, 1958. She was a graduate of Riverside High School and attended Empire Beauty School where she earned a cosmetology license. She dedicated most of her professional life to providing hair and nail services in Scranton. On Jan. 27, 1979, she welcomed her daughter Lisa, whom she deeply loved, adored and affectionately referred to as LeeLee. Marlene, known by her close family and friends as Momo, enjoyed bowling, cooking, gardening, people, her pets and traveling with her daughter. She was a very spiritual woman with a strong love for God. She was known by all for her one-of-a-kind, larger than life personality, infectious smile and contagious laughter. Her bright soul, warm heart and free spirit will be greatly missed by her friends, family, and all who knew and loved her.
