Marlene was a lifelong resident of Saint Bernard Parish. She married her soulmate at the young age of 17 and they began their inseparable journey. They created a life that was centered around love, laughter, and family. She was a strong woman with a heart of gold, and she welcomed everyone as family. Marlene enjoyed casino trips with her daughters, and weekly card games with her friends. She will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
