Together they have 26 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. Marlene was a very active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Arvada. She is loved by many who she has served with in so many different callings throughout the years to include, Ward and Stake Relief Society President, Young Women's President (6 times), Road Show Director, Librarian, and several other positions. Marlene loved all the details in nature from clouds to trees, flowers, rocks, and sea life in her snorkeling years. But fishing was her passion. She loved collecting Beanie Babies and learning to quilt, making quilts and Christmas Tree skirts for all her children and grandchildren. She loved to serve and help people and was a dear friend to so many. She was especially loved by her little dog Coco.
