Marlene worked a long career as an adult caregiver.

Marlene believed in kindness, generosity, and warmth. She loved tending to the Earth, and to the needs of her fellow man, be them strangers or loved ones. Marlene chose happiness and grace as a daily practice. Her determination, courage, and strength was unmatched. She encouraged others to do good, to dance, and to enjoy the gift of life.
