Born June 4, 1937, in Oliver, PA. She was the daughter of the late Stephen and Margaret Dvorchak. Marlene graduated from Mt. St. Macrina Academy, Uniontown, and went to St. Francis School of Nursing.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Raymond Dvorchak.

Marlene spent many years caring for others in the health care profession and retired from the Medical Center of Beaver County. During her time there, she worked in the emergency room, the critical care unit, the recovery room, private nursing, and managed the GI Lab and outpatient test center.
