Marlene was a wonderful , hard working, gentle woman. Always a smile on her face.. Both of our Moms spent many years at Laurels. We volunteered daily so got to know many employees. We were pleasantly surprised to cross paths with Marlene at an open house in June.. Loving prayers for her family in their time of grief.. Jerry n Pam Hammond
