| I knew Marlene as a strong woman & a fighter. I also knew Marlene as a "stamping buddy". Marlene loved to be creative through making cards. She loved to share her creations with others & bring them joy. I will cherish my memories of Marlene. I have heard many conversations regarding this lady. Everyone that met her loved her. May peace & comfort be with her closest friends & especially her family.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time of sadness. Marlene was an exceptional person who loved life and everybody in it. I worked with Marlene a long time ago when all the children were small but we still talked now and then. She will be greatly missed by all but she is now walking around in Heaven with all her toes.
Love & Prayers, Judy Overcash - Statesville, NC |
