Marlene and Walter built a life filled with adventure, companionship, and treasured memories.

Marlene was also an avid reader and passionate teacup collector. Above all else, she found her greatest happiness in her family. She treasured every opportunity to spend time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished for generations.
