Born in Halifax, she was the daughter of the late Morris and Jean (Walsh) Ormon. Marlene is survived by her devoted husband, Donald “Don” Tanner; daughter, Leslie (Tony) Huston; son, Stephen (Darlene) Tanner; sister, Irene (Mike) Maher; grandchildren, Dylan, Karli, Annysia, Shelby, and Hunter; all of her close nieces, nephews, special fur-grandbaby, Gronk, and many more.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at 3 West Dartmouth General Hospital for their support.
Family and friends are invited to St. Thomas More Parish in Dartmouth at 11:00 am on Wednesday, July 4th to reminisce, grieve, and support each other.
Marlene was a bright light in many lives, and will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia.
