Marlene was a cheerful, generous friend and colleague to all of us in the Staff Development Teacher Project. My deepest condolences to her family.

I was the school secretary at Takoma Park and enjoyed Marlene's sharing of her travels with Artie, especially the Alaska trip back in the '80s.  When I traveled there years later, her descriptions proved totally accurate. Delightful, compassionate and caring - she was one in a million.  Zora Camp

I had the pleasure of working with Marlene at Takoma Park MS.  She was energetic,uplifting, funny,silly,and loved by her students and anyone she came n contact with.  I will always remember the skits she helped put on and the many, many bags she toted about. My condolences to her family.  She was a wonderful lady! I have some wonderful memories of her to cherish.

We worked with Marlene at Takoma Park Middle School.  Marlene was instrumental in making TPMS a true family of staff, students, and community.  What we remember the most is her never ending energy, her contagious smile and laughter and most of all her true friendship to all.

We are much richer for having crossed paths with Marlene and her family.  Our condolences to her family and take heart in knowing that there will always be a piece of Marlene alive in our memory.

 

Love, Bob Smeak & Donna Jobson

"Marlene was a heartfelt whirlwind of goodwill and silliness.  She was so sincere that I felt I knew her forever after the first few times we spoke.  She took care of all of us teachers at R.C.V. far beyond her job required and we loved her.  She was beautiful and she made everyone around her feel they were beautiful, too."

We have all lost a wonderful person.  Our sympathies to her family.

Sending our love, our prayers and sincere condolances on Marlene's passing. Friends for 40 years, we watched her fight the good fight for an unexpected 8 long years. She had a great  attitude  and lived life to the  fullest,taking advantage of the time when she was feeling better to travel with Art and viisit the girls. We were all in awe of her  great will to live and  to make the most of her time. She was an inspiration to us all and will be remembered fondly by each of us.  Barbara & Chuck Lazzara and Family  and the Ladies Prayer Group (LPG)

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Marlene, she was an inspiration to me.  She was a friend of a friend, and thus by extension, a friend to me.  Her constant upbeat outlook and joy in living will remain in my memory.  We could all learn a lot from her.  May she be at peace.
