Marlene was always a very pleasant person at the switchboard and you could always hear her pleasantness and smile when you spoke to her whether in person or on the phone. She will be missed by the SLH community and retirees. My prayers go out to her family and rest in peace Marlene.

Our deepest condolences and prayers goes out to all the families. Marlene was a wonderful woman. I enjoyed the times we played Bunco together and her help with our wedding decorations. She was always so creative. We are so glad we got to chat with her at Jacob's grad party. She looked so good that day! Such a surprise, she will be dearly missed! Deepest sympathy, Brad and Kerry Kelly and family
