Marlene loved her family and always enjoyed getting everyone together for meals and to spend time with them, especially during Christmas, her favorite time of year. She was a very giving person who had a big heart, giving what she could to whomever she could. She enjoyed cooking for her family and tending to her yard, growing the most beautiful flowers.

The family would like to thank all the staff at Life Care North for their care and love they showed Mrs. Marlene and special thanks to Dr. Timothy Nichols for his continuous care and being so much more than a doctor to her.
