Great Grandchildren include Tucker, Claire, Aiden and Teddi.

Marlene will be remembered most for her love of helping others and for her amazing spread of foods and desserts on all holidays and special occasions. Our favorite memories of our Mom will always be our shopping trips and her Christmas celebrations! She will be missed by many and leaves us all with many wonderful memories.

Our family would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Lucas Place Assisted Living in Beaumont, Texas, for their excellent care of our Mom, where she spent the last few years of her life. Thanks also to the Catholic Priests from the Beaumont area, who visited her frequently and guided her in furthering her Catholic faith when she needed their support the most.

A celebration of her life will be held during a Memorial Service at Rios Funeral Directors 122 Commercial Circle Conroe, Texas 77304 on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Vincent De Paul at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Conroe, Texas.
