Marlene was a charter member of Faith Baptist Church in La Crosse. She had lived in the La Crosse for over 60 years.

She enjoyed traveling, being with friends and family, with family being her greatest joy. Marlene worked at the Rubber Mills in La Crosse for a short time then worked at the Patio Coffee Shop at Gundersen Hospital until her retirement.

Marlene was active in the community being a Boy Scout leader, Girl Scout leader, Sunday School teacher, and an active member within her church family.
