Marlene Loven

Marlene loved spending time with her family and friends, reading books, playing golf, and

traveling. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life. She will be missed for infinite

reasons, but chiefly among them are her generous spirit, loving and protective nature, sense of

humor, gift of gab, and impassioned spunk. Marlene will forever live on in the hearts and minds

of those she loved so dearly.

Loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Preceded in death by parents, Vera and

Lawrence; sisters, Shirley Horton, Gerry Hartman, and Gladys Humphrey; and brothers-in-law

Bob Horton and Lloyd Burch. Survived by beloved husband of almost 66 years, Tom; daughters,

Kim (Steve) Moore, Karen, Hope (Paul) Rudeen, and Deana; grandchildren Kristin (Matt),

Kaitlyn, Jared, Luke, Nicholas, and Emma; siblings MaryAnn Burch, Barbara (George)

Gunderson, Bill (Jan) Paulson, Tom (Bonnie) Paulson; and brother-in-law, Bob Hartman. Also

survived by dear friends, nieces, and nephews.

A celebration of Marlene’s life will be held on Friday, July 8th at 4:00 pm with a visitation

beginning at 3:00 pm at First Lutheran Church, 463 Maria Avenue in St. Paul.
