Marlene Ripka passed, naturally on Tuesday June 25, 2024, at 81 years old leaving her husband Jack, son Alan, sister Ilene, nephew Douglas, daughter-in-law Shelby and her 2 grandchildren Mason and Athena. Marlene grew up and married in NY and remained married for over 60 years having 2 children Alan and Robby. Unfortunately she lost Robby at almost 18 years old tragically in an accident. As a result of that she became an active member of the Compassionate Friends organization where she supported so many others with love, kindness and generosity who had similar devastating experiences. Marlene’s later years were spent in both New York and Florida where she spent quality time with her, devoted, husband Jack. They were never apart and did all they could to enjoy life and their family to the fullest. We loved her so much and will miss her every single day.
A graveside service for Marlene will be held Wednesday, June 26, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 11:45 AM at Mount Lebanon Cemetery, 7800 Myrtle Ave, Glendale, NY 11385.
