Marlene is survived by David V.

Marlene worked part-time then full-time for 20 years at the West Allis West Milwaukee School District. She was an avid traveler; two of her favorite locations were Branson, MO and Orlando, FL. She was active in many organizations. And in her free time she loved to sew, crochet, do crafts, and make personalized all occasion greeting cards for family and friends. Additionally she collected stuffed bears and glass slippers. She actively volunteered at MAM and many local theatres and donated to numerous non-profit and religious organizations. Marlene was one of the most caring and considerate people, her life mantra was to put the needs of others before herself; and that was evident until Jesus called her home.
