Marlene Caroline Antone

Marlene was born to Herbert and Margaret Edwards Cawker and was raised with strong family values that remained at the center of her life. In her earlier years, she lived in San Francisco, California, and Chicago, Illinois, before returning home to Arizona in 1975, where she would remain close to her roots and loved ones.

She dedicated part of her professional life to serving her community as a bank manager at Valley National Bank in Chandler, Arizona, now known as Chase Bank. She was known for her friendly smile, warm personality, and the genuine kindness she showed to everyone she met.

Marlene was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Lorenzo Antone, and a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her greatest joy came from her family. She is survived by her son, Daphen Lorenzo Antone; her daughters, Lorenzia Antone Lopez of Stotonic, Arizona, and Shawn (Randy) Garver of Littleton, Colorado; her cherished grandchildren, Trevor, Alec (Angela), Nikkisha, and Brittany; and her precious great-grandson, Blake; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lorenzo Antone; her sisters, Sandra Villalpando, Joan Cawker Isaac, Celestina Cawker, and Lillian Mark; her brother, Augustine Cawker.

Marlene will be deeply missed by her family, both young and old, and by her many dear friends. Her warmth, strength, and loving spirit will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

Wake services will be held on Friday, March 6. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Anne Church on Saturday, March 7, followed by burial at Mesquite Cemetery.

May she rest in eternal peace.
