Marlene graduated from Marion High School and worked in sales for The Box Shop, Dillman's Furniture, and Indiana BMV. She was a member of Maple Run Friends Church for many years.
Marlene was in many home economics and card clubs. She enjoyed playing golf and cards with her friends. She also loved crocheting and made many dishrags and potholders for her family members over the years.
