Marlene by far was the most kind, loving, big-hearted person I have ever known. Completely selfless and always worrying about everyone else's needs before her own. Truly a diamond in the rough-love you Marlene and will miss you greatly. Absolutely blessed to have had this woman in my life and will never forget her. Much love and many hugs to your family at this time. Marlene has touched many people in her life and has left a little of her heart with everyone she has ever met or cared about....how very lucky we all have been.

I was so saddened to hear of Marlene's passing. She was such a wonderful, caring person. My 2 granddaughters were at Champlain Day Care and I was also a teacher there so I saw Marlene often until I retired in 2010. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to all who knew her and loved her. May she rest peacefully in the hereafter until we meet again! - Posted by: Ellen Cook (Teacher at Champlain ) on: Mar 14, 2018
