Marlene found great joy teaching hundreds of kindergarten students in the Lindbergh School District. Together with Ralph, Marlene enjoyed lifelong fellowship with many friends from Southminster Church, where they were members for more than 50 years. Marlene and Ralph loved the countless hours spent with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Marlene will be greatly missed.
