Marlene will be lovingly remembered by her children, Greg (Angela), Pam (Harv), Howard (Tara), Coreen (Vernon); her dear grandchildren, Katlyn (Daniel), Randy (Sheena), Jackie (Clint), Kirsten, Brayden, Dylan; and her precious great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her husband David; sisters, Joyce and Irene, and brothers-in-law, Lloyd and Steve.
Marlene married David in 1963 and together they raised four children and resided in the same house in Dugald for the rest of their lives.

When I returned to curling just two years ago, Marlene was my Skip, and was so patient, and encouraging for me to participate, and improve my skills as a third, and as a skip, that I looked forward to every game with a new found joy. She was never at a loss for a joke, or comment that made the time spent with her enjoyable. Sending the family & friends Joy in her life, her love for you, and remember the good times together, and apart - Posted by: Jane Seniw (curling collegue) on: Jun 03, 2020
