Marlene volunteered with the Boy Scouts as a Beaver leader, with the Kinettes (Kinsmen wives) for many years, and on the executive at the Vets. Over the years she travelled Ken and her mom to many locations in the States. Marlene always enjoyed going out to socialize or have friends over on the back deck.

So sorry for your loss Ken and family. Marlene and Olive were always very kind to me as a child growing up next door. They always put up with my numerous trips over to play with Dusty. We always look forward to seeing Marlene around the holiday season when home and we will miss that this year.
Ken and family. Sorry to hear of Marlene’s passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Wendy and I send condolences to you Kenny and family. Thinking of you. Gord
I’m so sorry for your loss Ken and Family. I got to know Marlene through Moose Jaw Answering. I was with the Senior Citizens Assistance Program and got her on the line many of times. It was always pleasant to talk with her. I got to know Ken through mutual friends and waved at him many of times on the highway when he was driving truck. RIP Marlene.
Ken and family;
Very sorry to hear of Marlene’s passing. My wife Colleen always considered Marlene to be a good friend. Take comfort knowing she is no longer suffering.
So sorry to hear of Marlene’s passing.
We shared many laughs, many fundraisers, many beverages, many road trips. Wonderful memories!
Ken and family my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts are with you guys.
