Marlene Wetnight, 93, of Terre Haute, Indiana, passed away on October 16, 2026. Born September 13, 1933, Marlene was a beloved and cherished presence in the lives of those who knew her—steady in her devotion to family, faithful in her commitments, and remembered for a kind-hearted spirit marked by patience and compassion.
A homemaker, Marlene dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her husband and family, creating a home grounded in care and constancy. Her hard-working nature also showed through in the ways she supported those she loved, including helping her husband at the Wetnight RV Dealership and babysitting for her daughter—always willing to lend a hand and do so with quiet diligence.
Marlene found deep joy in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, holding them close with the attentive love that defined her life. She was also a member of Eastern Star and The Elks Club, places where her faithful character and considerate nature were reflected in the community she kept.
Marlene was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Wetnight “Bill”; her parents, James and Ellen (Burton) Walker; and her siblings, Bud Walker, twin brother Don Walker, and Barb Binks. She is survived by her children, Tom Wetnight (Anna), Minzie Mauer (Jerry), and James Wetnight “Jimbo”; six grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren.
