Beautiful, sweet Marlene. Class from beginning to end. You will be missed. RIP Marlene ~
We met Marlene and Lee in Palm Desert many years ago when they lived near our family. In Wichita I looked forward to seeing her in the hair salon. She always asked about my famiy and was a beatiful lady inside and out! She will be missed.

Marlene was always gracious and kind to us as children. Her beautiful smile was warm and inviting – and I loved her sense of humor.
